is not waking up, me.
Fear rules my world. The fear of waking up to find that I’ve missed all my alarms, of getting pulled over by a cop, of sounding a little too “blonde”, of bees, of messing up my song at an open mic, of nightmares. Every fear adds to the anxiety. However, when I face my fears - when I stop the irrational fears or stand up to the rational fears - I find that my experiences are fuller, brighter, hopeful. My story is about the purpose of fear and how fighting fear, even momentarily, can change your life.

For tackling fears!
Today was a mess, but I actually approached another fear by having a job interview! I’ve really only had two in my life and none was as intense as this one. And really, it was like two interviews; one via phone and the other in-person. My biggest problem was finding something “professional” to wear (I was interviewing at Nordstrom’s) and the one outfit that I did have got ruined by my iron :(
I did however, find a rockin’ outfit just in the nick of time and parking right next to the building so I suppose that’s a plus. The interviewer told me that my hours probably weren’t going to work with the specific job I was applying for (which he could have told me over the phone) but he wanted to have the in-person interview because he thought I could be a good candidate for other positions. Anyway, I’m beat now and healing my nerves with a Bruxie burger, a desert crepe, and Kiki’s Delivery Service.

New song! Not completely finished yet, but message me if you wanna let me know what you think!
Another fear –– getting back in the music rooms and writing/recording new music! I’m just so scared that I’m losing it and I definitely hear it in my voice, but I’m determined to regain my comfort with the piano.

my parents today; wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. It’s just that they don’t really talk to me and it’s hard not to have an awkward conversation, but it seemed fine. I actually really miss them.

Another one of my fears––making a music video/entering a contest and having it not turn out so well… Idk I think it’s fun and I’m so glad I did it :)
