Closing Time....?

This week there almost was not a blog post.  Its a challenge for me to write one every week because I really don't know what to say.  But I realized that I needed to push myself out of my shell even just a little, as hard as it is for me.  I've always been shy, afraid of being a bother, and inclined to react to others, but its gotten worse over the years, rather than better, as I didn't have classes or work to pull me out among others.

I want to go out there, be noticed, but it seems that even when I do step outside of my usual boundries that my first instinct is to be invisible.  I really don't know how not to be, and it frustrates me.  I've run a business in SL for 5 years now, and even most of my friends don't know what I make; I suspect many don't know I have a business at all.  I know I'm rubbish at this social thing, and I know it affects my abilities in marketing, which I dislike anyway.

But, its time for me to go and try to step into the world, I think.  Time to try and break past the obstacles that keep me from my dreams; many I put there myself.  Or as Semisonic put it,

Closing time
Time for you to go out go out into the world.

Time for me to just -do- things, instead of fretting over whether or not it will work out.
