"This is me"|Inspirview

Inpirviews are inspirational interviews and short dialogues about everyday happiness and challenges. "We don't grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges" - Joyce Meyer

When I started this blog, I was excited about creating a space on Lemoosh where I could connect with people and share their stories. As someone who reads a lot of celebrity interviews, I often wonder how relatable they really are to the average person. While it can be intriguing to read about the drama and challenges of the rich and famous, I prefer hearing from everyday people about their experiences and struggles. So many people feel like they're going through life alone, and I believe that connecting and sharing stories can help us all feel a little less isolated. That's why I decided to start writing about these topics myself.

Hi, I'm Sham, and I'm 32 years old. I'm introverted, sarcastic, and have a full-time job at a nonprofit organization. I have a great sense of humor and love making others laugh with corny jokes and witty catchphrases. Live music, especially with a variety of instruments, is also something I’m passionate about.

Right now, I'm facing a few challenges that I'm working to overcome. Public speaking is one of my biggest fears – it makes me extremely nervous. I'm also an overthinker, often replaying situations in my head with different meanings and outcomes. On top of that, I tend to work best under extreme pressure, which, as I’m learning, is not a healthy or sustainable way to operate. To address these challenges, I'm focusing on building confidence in public speaking through practice and embracing mistakes along the way. I also try to laugh at myself when I get caught in a cycle of overthinking and am reviewing time management techniques to break the last-minute work habit.

If I could go back and give advice to my younger self, it would be to embrace who I am and understand that it's okay to be myself. My favorite motivational quote is “put on your BGP” – meaning put on your big girl panties and tackle tough situations with strength and responsibility, even when you feel like crying.
