I'm a singer. Have been for many years. I've had many people encouraging me and many people in high places who really felt I should have had a huge career. For some reason, that never happened and I felt like I let down a lot of people. Almost 20 years later, I am still chasing the dream but recently I started asking myself the question, "Why am I singing?" And I finally got my answer, "because I always have". At this point, I'm coming to realize that singing is kind of a habit. Something I've always done. It's also something I define myself by. But, honestly, I'm not even sure I enjoy it anymore. So, it seems sort of crazy to keep doing it. Sometimes I feel like I have to do it, like it's a compulsion of sorts. But many times I feel I don't really need it anymore. Lately, more and more it's like a phatom limb. The feeling's gone but I keep looking for it. Maybe it's just gone and like love lost, it's time to move on?
Just a thought.
