Who Am I? The Girl Behind the Dreamer's Pause

When you’re 18, the world feels like it’s waiting for you to step into it. Everyone expects you to have it all figured out—where you’re going, what you’re doing, and who you’re supposed to be. But here I am, staring at the ceiling in my small room, feeling anything but ready.

I’m the girl who has never had a job. Not because I don’t want one, but because no one seems to want me. I have no best friend to share secrets with, no boyfriend to call mine, and not even pocket money to spend on the little things that make life bearable. I’ve been accepted into a private college, but instead of feeling excited, I feel a pit in my stomach because I don’t know how I’ll pay for it.

My teeth are crooked. A kid at church once laughed and said, “Why does your smile look broken?” I smiled less after that. It’s funny how one small comment can echo in your mind, louder than a hundred kind words. I hate the way I look most days, but I don’t know how to change that.

And now, I’m waiting. Waiting for my final high school results to drop, feeling like my entire future is dangling on a thread held by numbers I can’t control. Will they be good enough? Will I be good enough?

I started this blog because I need a space to breathe, to write, to be myself without the fear of judgment. I don’t know where this journey will lead me, but I know I can’t stay still any longer. I’m tired of waiting for life to happen to me.

Maybe you’ll relate to my story. Maybe you won’t. Either way, I hope you stick around, because this blog isn’t just about my struggles—it’s about figuring out how to move forward, one dream, one pause, one step at a time.

Welcome to The Dreamer’s Pause. Let’s figure this out together.

The First Pause: Taking the Leap

Introduction:

Have you ever found yourself standing at the edge of something new, unsure if you should take the leap? I’ve been there. For a long time, I had this idea in my mind—an idea of creating something meaningful that could not only make an impact but also give me the freedom to explore my passions. But every time I thought about it, I hesitated. What if it wasn’t good enough? What if I failed?

Then one day, I decided that waiting was the real risk. And so, I took a leap. That’s how The Dreamer's Pause was born.

Main Body:

This blog is where I’m turning my thoughts into action. It’s not just about sharing my experiences; it’s about creating a space where you, too, can pause and reflect on your own journey. Here, I’ll share what I’m learning as I build this blog from the ground up—whether it’s tips on creativity, advice on starting something new, or just stories of moments where I’ve taken a chance and learned something along the way.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration, practical advice, or just a little encouragement to start your own project, this is the place for you. Life is full of pauses, moments to stop and think. So, let’s make the most of them, together.

Call to Action:

If you’re ready to take your own leap or want to follow along with my journey, I’d love to have you with me. Subscribe, and let’s explore what happens when we take that pause and decide to move forward. I’m excited to see where this adventure takes us!
