Actually put myself out thereas a shy disabled in one of the most self imposed fearing ways, entered a modeling competiton, im in the top 3
I’ve always been shy and struggled with feeling “different” because of my disability. For a long time, fear and self-doubt held me back from trying things I wanted to do. Recently, I decided to put myself out there in one of the scariest ways possible: I entered a modeling competition. Just taking that step felt huge. I wasn’t sure if I’d even make it past the first round, but I reminded myself that courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s acting despite it. Now… I’m in the top 3. I can’t even begin to describe how surreal and empowering it feels. This experience has taught me that even if you’re shy, disabled, or scared, you can still push past your fears and achieve things you never imagined. I’m sharing this because if anyone reading this has doubts about trying something outside their comfort zone: do it anyway. You might surprise yourself. #inspiration source
