Oh well, whatever, I don’t really care.
How many times have you said those words to yourself? I know I’ve said  or thought them too many times in my lifetime. Maybe it’s a way to protect ourselves from hurt or pain, or from failing.
If you don’t care about it then it can’t get you right?
But it does get you eventually. It stops you from going after your dreams, or even dreaming. You have to care enough about something to make an effort and put yourself “out there”. You have to take chances and face possible failures.
It’s scary.
I am a quiet, reserved, aloof personality. It’s hard for me. But I’m not going to say, “Oh well, whatever, I don’t care” anymore. I want to dream big!

I want to travel to Japan. And many other places. To travel you need money. To get money, you need a successful career. I want to be a successful Graphic Designer. How do I do that exactly??
My schooling is finished. I have a year’s experience under my belt.
Now what?
I’m here to represent all the quiet introverts who are afraid to put themselves “out there” and go after your dreams. We can make it happen!
Till next week,
(Kim has already accomplished her first big dream by traveling to New York with her teenage daughter June of 2009. She lost 20 pounds and overcame her intense dislike (do we say fear?) of flying to accomplish that dream. She rotated off the blog in February 2010, but still hangs out with 8 Women Dream. You can find her in the comments section)
