As a music student it can be so easy to be caught up with the little things that cloud up the days. There is always something new to be working towards, another person to impress, another personal battle to wage. Its not just a music student problem, its and everybody problem. It can be hard to look past all of the day to day trials that are thrown our way and see the bigger picture and appreciate the beauty of our tiny existence.
I find my self becoming so overwhelmed that it becomes nearly impossible to take a step back and just let the air float in and out of my person.
Second term has been off to a rocky start, just in the way where I let things mess with my brain that have absolutely no right to make me feel any less than the rock star I am(that is what I am in school for right? A degree in classical voice performance leads to rock and roll fame and fortune, does it not?). I am so blessed to be able to pursue an education in what I am most passionate about and to be surrounded by such supportive peers, mentors, family members, and friends. Whenever I get overwhelmed I just need to stop and think about that for a second. I'm learning about music, I am in school to learn more about music, I get to make music! Life is good and beauty is everywhere.
I have to focus on the things that make me the happiest and let me shine the brightest.
