Lessons In Life Learned

Lessons learned... -are blessings earned… The fear of the being social has always brought trepidation, and in my youth I’d be scared to try new escapades- Severe anxiety with apprehensive contemplation wondering if the dismay in my heart will escalade. As I grew older my dread of certain situations, just became worse and I grew more afraid- I just couldn’t find any comprehendible alleviation, but I decided it was time to make new friends who stayed. So, one day after church I took the pastor’s recommendation, I went up to a nice lady and a new friend I made- She was so sweet and welcoming, what a relieving sensation, so gradually my social anxiety began to fade. Slowly I learned that there is a moral in this illustration, a taught message was predominately displayed- I now believe that in life socializing can be a celebration, and found blessings in lessons... -in taking off my masquerade.
