The Most Honest Story I've Ever Told
Hey guys,
This is my first post to the community and if we're being honest, it's really putting me through it. Trying to express myself effectively, especially with ideas that I value, has me nervous and jumpy this morning, and I'm pretty sure I just started grinding my teeth.
Who's here reading this right now? Can they see me? I hope they aren't laughing at me. How are my words being perceived? How will my message be received? Am I making any sense? How much should I share? I want them to trust me. Don't overshare though. They may not like you. Should I delete that? Oh god, my voice, my opinions they're in the spotlight right now! Why am I even putting myself through this?
Breathe.
Even though I'm afraid I won't be able to find my voice, I still really want to share what I've learned in life with the Steemit community.
Breathe.
Even though I'm afraid I'm not talented enough to share my ideas, I still really want to share the many things I've learned from my struggles with the world.
Breathe.
Even though I'm afraid I'm not good enough, I still believe I can effectively share my ideas.
Breathe.
Even though I'm afraid I just can't, I still believe it's really important for me to share my voice.
Hi. I'm Christy and I can be a little shy at first, but I usually come around :)
I'm here today, introducing myself, because as soon as I saw things here I knew they were different. The ideas discussed here embolden me, and I believe it's here, in the Steemit community, that I find my voice. That, and I also really like the drag and drop method for uploading photos to posts 🙊
The two most difficult questions for me to answer right now are
- Where do you live?
- What do you do?
and I live somewhere where people ask me those exact questions daily. My life is a swirl of addresses, and I called over 20 countries home for the night in 2016. Now, I live in a what can only be described as a "backstage" to the main event.
A magical treehouse Neverland where stage hands consistently rotate the set, life outside my door is never the same one day to the next.
I wasn't intentionally leading myself down a path to performing, but since May 15th 2017 my life has become so beautifully crafted that I feel as if I'm a character in a wonderful masterpiece. Each day brings with it new surprises, new clarity and artistic formation. After that day in May, I've awoken each morning excited to turn the page, genuinely invested in watching my story unfold.
And so I'm here because even I can't deny it anymore; a story that good is a story to tell.
I've seen how wonderfully interactive Steemit can be, and so I'd like to encourage a sense of community around my stories. I have a lot going on in my head with a lot of experiences to back it up, but where should we begin? If you've enjoyed my intro, please comment with your opinion below!

Opportunity vs Comfort Zone
So what do I do? I guess you could say I'm an opportunist. Here, we'll talk about how I've quit more jobs than I've started, and why I think that is a good thing. This is the story of how I left the warm shores of small town comforts for the blue waters of opportunity.
Breaking Down Food Myths
Incomplete "research," misguided myths, and my no-labels, plant-based lifestyle. This is the story of how my body healed itself, what I eat for renewable athletic energy, and the real thing that makes you "fat" (HINT: EGO)
Why I Think Happiness = Trust and the roadmap to finding it in ourselves
This is the story of how I found trust in myself and the roadmap you need to find it too.
Travel with me Diaries
From small-town southern living to 30 countries by 30, these are the stories of my #travellife.
So what do you think, would you like to know more about my life story?

Welcome Christy!! I'm full down with food and plant relationships!!! Definitely the most exciting part for me...I love breaking out of my comfort zone too, but I suspect we all do that in pretty different ways.
I love the elephant picture, you look so cool in that one, with your big gleaming smile and big reflective bug eyes!! hahaha, and the elephant's hair on his head...it's a great photo.
Lol thanks! It's my favorite selfie of all time...the elephant just kills it for me 👌

Welcome to steemit. I am new myself. I really appreciate the honesty of your internal dialogue. My own user name comes from a desire to leave behind self doubt and become comfortable with who I am in a world where everyone is somehow both anonymous and always exposed. Drumming up some courage, I wrote my own life story and posted some of my work. So far I am happy I did. As for your topics, I vote for travel stories and opportinity vs comfort zone. Good luck!
@candidfolly I love the idea of leaving behind self doubt. I'm pursuing that path everyday. I've followed and I'll make sure to check out your life story too!
Thank you. The post is called my journey to freedom and it is only the first part. I hope to post more soon.
Thank you!
haha, I love it candid! way to wear your desires!!! this is definitely something I resonate with too...It's getting better all the time
Yes, and I think there is usually no better way to move away from trouble than to go straight through. I don't want to pretend. It is a relief to be done with saving face and to just live.
