F*ck Flattering Friday: Being Bad at Things

On today's edition Fck Flattering Friday: Being bad at things ⁣

So tennis...I am horrible. I am awful. I'm not even comparing myself to Serena. I am talking worse than your average school aged kid who picks up a racket for the first time! But you know what...who cares?⁣

BUT If there was an award for swings and misses, I would be in the top three for sure. ⁣

I will admit I absolutely hate being a beginner or being bad at something. It is...one of my least favorite things. I used to completely avoid activities just because I was afraid of being “bad at it”. That held me back from a lot of potential opportunities .

One thing that has helped is nannying and raising kids. You can’t expect a child to be an amazing soccer player when they are just learning to walk. And even if they fall thousands of times, you never want them to give up. Eventually, they will learn to walk. Everyone has to start somewhere. ⁣

You'll never get better if you don't try. And sometimes, you'll never get better. But life is wayyy too big and expansive and wonderful to be caught up in all that. ⁣

Happy Friday !
