That Thing Called Confidence

My Mum's family is a big one. She was one of ten children. So, with their children and their children's children, our family barbecue always draws a large crowd. We have one every summer, as well as a party every Christmas.

Mum used to love this time spent with her family. I, on the other hand, always find it stressful. I'm a writer, I find solitude much easier than people. However, this year I have decided to step it up a notch; make the whole event even scarier. I'm taking some of my writing with me. I've decided to start sharing. With people I know! I am worried, but there is a part of me that is looking forward to it.

Might that be a little of that thing they call confidence? I've never encountered it before, so I'm not sure.
