(Sort of continued from post “Red Light Recess #2: Permission”)
I know I need permission from myself to fully embrace the musical creativity that is apparently a big part of who I am, AND I continue to struggle with offering myself that freedom. Other creative urges I notice such as photography and wood-working are stifled even more than music. I don’t know what happened to me. I don’t know why I fear being me. I am covering up so much creativity. What am I truly afraid of? Why is this so difficult? Why can’t I simply write a song and share it and feel good that I finished it and shared it? That’s who I want to be. That’s who I am inside. I’m just not letting me be me.
