Letting others read your writing

Today is the first time that I printed my work and let someone other than family read it. I was good with it until I printed. Then was when the panic set in for a minute. It was one of those should I or should I not things. Fear griped me. Fear of what? Fear that it was too childish. Fear that my spelling sucked. Fear that others wasn't going to like it. Fear that I had written like a child would have. Fear of every bad thing that might be.
I started writing for my daughter. I write now because I love it and there are stories in my head that want to be written. I write for me. Not the people that might or might not like what I write. I write because I hope that someone out there will read something that I have written and say hey that was a great story. Or even that was a good story. It's a natural human trait to want people to like you. I'm no different than others on that.
The thing that I am different on is that even if there are people that don't like my stories (and I know there will be) it doesn't matter to me. It doesn't matter. It only matters to me that I'm happy with my work. I'm have that I wrote those stories that are in my head.
Fear is the one thing that can stop me if I let it. My own fear is my worse enemy. If I don't do this because of my own fear than nothing in life is worth doing. I wouldn't let my fear get in my way. I wouldn't let that fear stop me from writing the stories that I know might touch someone as they have touched me.
Fear gets in to many peoples way. I wouldn't let mine get in my way. Please don't ever let your fear get in yours.
