In 2019 I noticed I was avoiding my mission, my purpose in life. I wrote about it so I could try to understand it. I believed it. It made sense to me, yet I didn’t believe I was the right person for the mission. Five years later, I jumped to a higher level of understanding, but the self doubt and fears remained. Where shall I start? It’s so overwhelming when I see and feel all the pieces floating around me. Perhaps I should start by stating that I feel the need to be granted permission to be the songwriter and musician that I already am on the inside. Although I recognize my musical talents and skills, I struggle to allow myself to live it out fully, to experience my musical creativity the way I sense it deep within my mind and body. I recently realized that the only permission I need is permission from myself. Nobody else gives a shit. It’s all me, blocking me.
