HEAR ME OUT... What if the biggest growth comes from the steps we're afraid to take?

I wanted to be a singer-songwriter, for God's sakes. Like the definition of putting yourself out there. If you're an artist, you need to be 100% naked. There's no filter. And so you can convey that emotion to people. And all I wanted to do is go hide in a corner and cry because I was panicking. That's exactly what happened the first time I got on stage. Like my passion for music was way stronger. That pushed me. But the first time, it was horrible. I mean, I could sing. I was off-key. I was frozen. The band is looking at me going, what is going on? I just froze. I couldn't sing one note. And then when I sang, it was horrible. But then I continued on and on. Okay, that's kind of extreme here. I'm not telling you to go on stage and sing in front of people. But all this to say, if I was able to do that, and this was a trauma, it was a traumatizing experience, but What do you want at the end of the day? That's gonna push you. It's not gonna be easy, but you're gonna get better. It's gonna get better.
