Why am I so nervous about this introduction??

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Truth be told, I actually hate social media.

Meh... too strong a word. I don't hate it, I just don't use it much.

So the fact that I'm excited to join Steem has me nervous as hell about actually signing up and writing a post... simply to say hello. (mind you I do a good deal of public speaking)

I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and one of the shows I used to fall asleep to when I was younger was called Cheers...

🎶 "You wanna go where everybody knows your name" 🎶

Yeah, I think that's the feeling. I actually want you to get to know me on this platform...

And with that comes some nervous energy I guess... 🤷🏾‍♂️

That's it for now.

Will share much more about me, who I am, what I do, why I do it, my thoughts, opinions, ideas, suggestions, etc... especially when it comes to personal and professional growth.

Stay tuned!

P.S.

My 3-year old son actually beat me in Street Fighter yesterday... smh.

And he did it with a simple, slow-moving haduken!!
