"Sing It Out"

While I've been closing myself into a social shell, my vocal boundaries are only beginning to come out and while it seems like I've been lost this entire time, I have. But getting lost has opened up the chance to figure myself out. How does this make sense? Simple. I've rediscovered my love for music.
It's no secret that music plays a vital part in my life (and I think this blog is a self explanatory example of that) Still, I've secretly been putting music on the back of my mind for the longest time. I've found myself time and time again reprioritizing my singing and my songwriting for fear of rejection. I sang through high school but found myself trying to convince myself that there are billions of better singers out there who have a much better chance at making it big. What kind of dent would I make? Who wants to hear my voice? Every so often I would put myself on a cloud, dreaming of singing for stadiums of people and touring all over the place, finally feeling a sense of love for what I want to do. Then I would remind myself that it's only just a dream, I'm only just a foolish girl with foolish dreams and then go back to writing in my notebook about these crazy dreams. I never sang at home and I was much too reclusive to really sing the way I wanted to in public. Now that I'm here, it seems like my voice comes to me that much easier. I'm singing and finding that its just so much easier to let things out and be myself. I have nothing to hide anymore. I just want to sing it out loud!
Today I'm competing in a vocal competition so hopefully this comes in handy. (:

I swear, I need to write more... There's just so much story to tell and not enough free time.
