One year Ago
Nay reminded me on twitter that exactly one year ago, I was honored with the oportunity to be on The Voice. Here was my reaction to watching it for the first time….SCARED!!!
I felt like the sky was falling. I didn’t know what to expect… I thought my ideas were a little hairbrained. Naturally, never thought there would be a place in TV for a singer like me.
And for the vast most part, I was so happily suprized!
my perspective on life changed in so many little ways.
I went from feeling like everything I wanted being so far away, to being within grasp…
there was only one missing part,
me.
It took me some time (too long, in retrospect) to get on board with life. to wake up and see, that hating yourself doesn’t save you from any shame. It buries you in it.
I still see myself as waking up…every day more. to possibility, is all. I’m learning that life shouldn’t be about the judgement or expectation or competition (in any sense of the word), its gotta be about the experience.
judging myself like I would my best friend. Understanding and kindness.
The voice was a beautiful opportunity, even if I think I didn’t get to do everything I wanted, and I didn’t fully embrace “image” or “marketing”… these things take time, if they are real or important.
tl;dr
Im grateful for fans, friends, and opportunities that the voice brought.
stoked to do more shows and release more music :) be announcing some show dates soon…
