If you know me you know that I am such an indecisive person... That's why I plan my meals in advance because there is NO WAY I'd be able to figure it out on the spot haha. Another reason I enjoyed going to a Catholic School for 12 years. Woah, I digress. (but seriously, college = huge wake up call - actually had to dress myself.... weird)
I guess with that being said it doesn't really surprise me that I have been so wishy-washy about this competition. However, it is much deeper than that. I think it's more of the fact that I will be on stage in nothing but a bikini in front of hundreds of people.... oh and walking in 5 in heels. That's probably 50% of it. The next 25% would be doubt. Yep, that will ruin any dream you have. I know I need to believe it myself, I know I can do this, but I also know it will take time and I need to be patient. The last 25% would be placing. I know this is about ME and no one else. I know that it does NOT matter if I place or not. But hey I am competitive so a part of me really wants to.
See I know ALL of this - now all I have to do is believe in myself, work as hard as I can, and practice walking in heels.
Will I compete? Yep.
Will I announce the date? Hmmmm.
I think that if I do this at my pace without feeling like I have a time crunch it will be easier. Not easy, but easier. SO that being said - you'll know when I compete but I might tell you the week before instead of 10 weeks.
