I think it can sometimes be natural for a very introverted person to resent people who are to in your face and bolshy. I do admire outspoken people and those who are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in. <strong><blockquote>“It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than open one's mouth and remove all doubt.” </blockquote></strong><em>Samuel Johnson</em><br /><br /> And perhaps it is - but I don't want opportunities to pass me by because I am too scared about opening my mouth to stand up and fight for them. So whenever the creeping doubts threaten to make me run back home this is the song I play in my head giving me the confidence to go for it!<br /><br />And these past few months I have done a lot of things I wouldn't have thought possible, Labour canvassing, going places where I know noone and talking to strangers. It may not sound much but for me its everything. <br /><br /><strong><br /><em><blockquote>"You can't be too careful anymore<br />When all that is waiting for you<br />Won't come any closer<br />You've got to reach out a little more"</blockquote></em></strong><br /><strong>Careful - Paramore</strong><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5195975626990882727-4123306725122323568?l=yourfuturemuse.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/04212532804155645738noreply@blogger.com0
