They always have a lot to say about another person;

Which is why performing always gave me anxiety.

After a lot of courage and panic, I decided

It was time to face my fear.

I perfected my craft and focused on training until the big day came.

Performing was liberating,

a different type of freedom and independence

I never knew I could have.

Performing has now inundated my life,

My spirit, my soul,

Is built for performance.

And I am glad to have faced this fear.
