FIRST DAY ON ITALKI Hello there! I know you're not ready for it yet, but here goes a confession: Anxiety's ghost stalks me! And it's just like having a monster hanging on my shoulder. Sometimes, it really lets me down and prevents me from doings things I like. However this week has been particularly exciting since I've been feeling way more keen to practice self-care and reach some old goals, being one of them improving my English speaking and writing skills, then joining an independent architecture website. It came out when I was offered a job as an intern at a Landscape Architecture website, but it didn't end up well! I just got terrified about failing at this position, so I just let it go and allowed my insecurity to beat me once more. I felt truly frustrated and I thought I would never manage to trust on me anymore. However, after some reflection, I realized it is not impossible! All I need is believing in me and respecting my own pace. And, more than ever, I'm willing to get it back and, as a step to it, I'm joining Italki. Even not being the most sociable person ever, I'm a curious girl and I'm deeply fond of listening to people and learning something new. Besides improving my communication skills, I'm sure I would be able to gain a bit of self-confidence again. So let's get it started! P.S.: It would help me a lot getting corrections, suggestions of more suitable words, tips on coherence and cohesion etc. Thanks in advance!
