full steam ahead

What’s up, y’all?

It’s been an overwhelming couple of days for me. Since my EP release show on Saturday, it feels like there’s so much energy surrounding me, it almost feels stifling, like I can’t breathe. I’m trying to understand what’s logically happening in my life right now but that seems impossible.

I did the open mic at Smith’s Olde Bar on Monday evening and it was so fun! My friend and I went to perform individually and they were stopping the sign up list at his set. He graciously gave me one of his song slots. So, he performed one song before I stepped onstage.

It was so scary. Standing up there, not sure how it was going to sound… Not sure if the band would vibe with it. Knowing that I was about to perform a song I wrote at like 8am that same day, I was terrified. I messed up words, chords, basically everything. But it was a feeling I can’t explain or replicate and something I want to experience over and over again.

More than anything.

So, I’m going to another open mic tonight. I invited my friend but she may skip out. That kinda makes me want to do it less. I’m aware of that. Despite that feeling, I’m gonna push through and do it. I really want to put myself out there. I want to get practice. This is the way to do it.

This is the only way.

Forward.

Full steam ahead.

Peace and Love,
