three years ago, i had a total meltdown in my dorm over a singing contest. i didn't make it to the finals, and i kept comparing myself to everyone else, feeling like it was so unfair that i wasn't there:(
i really did try my best back then, eventhough i giggle now when i re-listen to those old performances because the singing was rough and i was being so dramatic, i never gave up in the first place. i eventually found my own path, although it's been lonely and different from everyone else's, but it's so much better than following a path that was never meant for me.
now, i just want to tell my past self: you actually made it. from singing covers in high school to writing your own songs and performing them at a sold-out showcase in 2026 🥳 and the best part is, this is only the beginning of your best self.
