Putting Myself Out There

It’s miserable, isn’t it? To get up each morning and decide to create a gloriously awkward moment to participate in. Why do we do this to ourselves?

Well…. my sis and I always figure no one is going to knock on our door one day and say ‘hey what is your crazy dream or hobby? I’d love to support you!’

Since no one is going to do that, we’ve no choice but to get up and show up, day in and day out, putting our thoughts and creations out into the world.

I’ve been dabbling in songwriting for four or five years now, give or take. It’s the most mentally / emotionally taxing activity but fills my soul in a way that nothing else can – which must mean it’s something I should keep doing.

What good is a song that no one ever hears? Good question. I’m hereby challenging myself to try to just record myself from time to time and get these songs into the world if for no other reason, so my daughter can hear what they’re supposed to sound like when she’s going through my notebooks some day.

Love you all – thanks for listening!

Original tune – Happily in the Meantime
