Step into who you are

I feel like a part of me is slipping away. I don’t use ASL nearly as much as I’d like. The deaf community here is essentially non-existent and the closest one is 1.5 hours away. My friends want to learn, but learning a new language takes time and commitment. I have thought about posting short videos of basic signs, and I want to post some videos of me talking and signing so I can become more natural at it. My roommate knows how to sign pretty fluently, but our schedules are often not aligned. Being on camera makes me nervous. I will have to push through so I can keep that part of me and make it stronger. I wanted to read and sign from a book, but that’s copyright infringement. Sooo I guess I’ll have to use my own stories and words. 🙃😬

Here’s to nurturing yourself and stepping into who you truly are. Who cares what everyone else thinks?
