The first step is the hardest

I’ve taken the first, hesitant step into a new kind of creation.

I MADE A VIDEO! Editing alone for a few minutes of video took over 10 hours, but I learned an incredible amount. The filming moments are captured on camera, but they also live in my memory as unforgettable experiences.

In fact, I’ve been recording video clips for almost two years now with the thought that one day I’d share them. That thought always stayed in the background. It’s easy to come up with excuses—lack of time, lack of equipment, whatever—to avoid taking that daunting step and sharing something personal with the world.

Publishing anything creative is incredibly scary. You put a piece of yourself into the work, and any criticism of it feels like a personal criticism. Even though I know that’s not true, you can’t avoid the feelings of insecurity and vulnerability.

So, with trembling hands, shallow breaths, and a lot of nervous excitement, I’m sharing a piece of myself and publishing my first video. The first step is the hardest, but it gets easier after that.

I hope it brings you even a fraction of the joy I experienced while filming and editing it. Let me know what you think! New ideas and the next steps are already in the works. 🙊
