 Chasing dreamsIn a week or so, I will be on my way to fulfilling my longtime dream. I would be auditioning for this competition known as Mentor. It's the 6th season of this show now so it's a huge deal with plenty of followers. And when it's a huge deal, well, the amount of talented people that are going to audition for that chance to make their dreams come true will be huge too. To say I'm scared and nervous would be the understatement of the year. No words can describe how I feel. This is really important to me. Like any dream, mine started when I was really young, at the tender age of one. Whether I realized it or not at that time, it doesn't matter because I could literally sing before I could speak properly. Sure the lyrics coming out of my mouth weren't quite words but I got the rhythm and tune down to a T. As I grew up, so did my dream. It grew bigger and bigger until I could see it playing out in front of me like a film. My dream is so precious to me that just the thought of it makes my heart ache because I wouldn't know what to do if it were to be shattered into millions of pieces. And I'm scared that I wouldn't be strong enough to pick up all the pieces and glue them back together. The one thing you should know about me as a person is that I lack confidence. And the thing is, confidence is key when it comes to performing. I could fake it, oh how I can fake it good, but it won't feel good. It won't feel right. Doubt can still creep in and once you lose it, even just for a split second, it's over. People might think singing is just opening your mouth, playing around with your voice, projecting it and yada yada. It's not. When you sing, you're bearing your heart and soul out to the world in the form of a song. The words you sing, they are the words you can't say. Do you know how scary that is? ... Okay. I should stop. I'm not making much sense. Whew. Feels good though, letting all that out. (PS: The song I'll be singing is Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. Goes with the title :D) | |
