the bookstore didn’t care. neither did anyone else.
you know what’s actually scary? staying small because you were worried someone might glance at you for 0.3 seconds.
i filmed this entire reel in public and not one person noticed. not one. the fear of being watched is so much louder than the reality of it.
if you’ve been waiting until you feel brave enough to film in public or talk on camera - this is your sign that the audience you’re afraid of doesn’t exist yet. the one you actually want does.
start anyway. save this for when you need a reminder and send it to a fellow creator who could use a boost 🫶🏼
