Stop worrying so much. You worry too much about what others think of you. You do not even realize how unconfident you are until someone starts to see through you. Do not be afraid to show your real self when someone does see through you. Always remember there is more to you than what others see at first glance. You care too much about what others think to the point where you can come off as stuck up or disrespectful at times. You cannot find your worth in friends or a boyfriend. You need to discover your self-worth on your own so stop relying on them so much. Relax and stop being so afraid of what people think of you. In 20 years, it isn’t going to matter what anyone thinks of you but yourself. You are yourself’s greatest critic. Stop being so hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes and it isn’t the end of the world if you do make a mistake. Nobody is perfect. You honestly just need to stop stressing yourself out about the little things that do not even really matter. Stop trying so hard to fit in with everyone else. It is okay to be different. You also need to stop dwelling on the past and learn to move on. Learn to let go. Just because you were hurt in the past doesn’t mean the people you know now are going to hurt you the same way. Hold the people you care about close and never let go because they could be gone in the blink of an eye. Make sure to let the people you love know that you love them and never let them forget that. Live every day you are blessed with to the fullest. Stop apologizing so much, you are not always the person at fault, but you do need to realize when you are at fault and own up to your mistakes. Being “smart,” “kind,” and “honest” is better than being “hot,” “sexy,” or “pretty” any day. You will never be any younger than you are today, remember to always live your life to the fullest and love others.

Hello! I am Molly and in this blog I will be telling my readers about some of the most magnificent and unique animals all around the world. The Animal Kingdom is spectacular. There is an amazingly impressive amount of variety in so many different animal families.

Today, I will be informing my readers about the Red-lipped batfish, also known as the Galapagos fish. This fish is found around the Galapagos islands and off the coast of Peru. You might be surprised to know that a few Red-lipped batfish have been found off the coast of California in fish nets. Red-lipped batfish are usually found on the ocean floor in the sand of reefs. The bat fish are unfortunately not very good swimmers, so they use their pectoral, pelvic, and anal fins to move around. It almost looks as if they are “walking” on the ocean floor. Red-lipped batfish consume their diet by mainly feeding on other small fish and invertebrates. You will be happy to know that as of right now, there are no known predators for the batfish. And they are no where close to extinction they are in the “least concern” category. So, it looks like the Red-lipped batfish will be around for a while.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
