Day 10

A. Montgomery Ward Park

It's one third of the way through September and 2025’s One Walk a Day blog series. Sometimes I can’t help but ask myself why I do this; the blog series, my book reviews, or my blog in general. I want to be a writer and I figure that the best way to do that is to practice, but sometimes the fear of being vulnerable just to be rejected or ignored is powerful. At the end of the day, I do it for me. I do it to prove that I can and because I enjoy it.

My friends and family who support me and interact with my content mean so much and I’m so grateful, but it’s also a practice of not needing reassurance or validation.
