How do I say

Why do you love this?

What makes you keep doing it?

 

I am always asked these questions.

How do I tell them

How do I say

That sometimes it's the only thing that matters to me?

The only thing I can cling to,

Cling to my own happiness?

How do I say I can't fall asleep without it,

I can't live without it,

Because how could I ever,

When it's such a huge part of me?

It just is.

I am music.

Music is me.

It's my way of being -

Existing -

Being myself.

How do I say just looking at it,

Not as another project or something to do

But as a story,

Something to tell,

Something to show,

Brings me joy?

How do I say I perform

Whenever I can

As scared as I am

Because I need to be a soloist one day

And I want to be

Or

Even just be part of something bigger than me?

How do I say it's all I am?

 

Why do you love this?

What makes you keep doing this?

 

How do I say I do it

Because to me there's nothing else in the

World

I would rather do?

    My band conductor has always said that 6/8 plays itself -

    it does.

    It's easy to just play through but not if you think too much.

    my life plays itself

    yes I make mistakes

  • Falling in love

    The first thing I ever understood about falling in love

    is that it keeps you coming back

    like magnets

    whether it's good for you or bad for you

    you're addicted.

    And I didn't know the scope of it -

  • New Year

    New year's resolutions.

    I tell myself a lot of things every year -

    I never listen.

    No boys, no distractions.

    Too late.

    This time is different I think -

    I want that senior solo
