I don't think I've ever covered this subject here, but... I sing.
I have been taking singing classes for... almost 4 years now, and it is probably (definitely) my biggest pride and joy.
One of the worst things about this pandemic, for me, has been not being able to meet my teacher and sing into a microphone.
So we resorted to online lessons, but it's just not the same.
Today, she told me that from June on we will start doing live lessons again, and I honestly cannot wait.
There's just something about singing my heart out, even though I'm not singing my own lyrics... I simply love it and it makes me feel GOOD.
Of course there are times when my voice is not at its best, or when I feel tired, or when my teacher frustrates me... but apart from that, it is always an experience that fuels me.
All I want to do is improve and be able to sing my favorite songs.
I don't know if I will ever be a proper singer, or if I'll just keep singing between four walls. But I do know this: I'll keep going for as long as I can.
Sometimes I forget about the power of music, whether it is because I'm buried in my work or simply distracted by other things, but then I remember why I need it.
Because it pushes me forward, because it liberates me.
And with singing, I seem to have found a new dimension that allows me to do that even more.
It allows me to forget about everything around me, everything that brings me down. When I sing, all my worries disappear and I can just get lost in the music, the lyrics, the rhythm.
It's really hard to explain, but it's a wonderful sensation.
Ok.
Bye.
