I’m finally home.
I feel so new and refreshed, ready to go for my next adventure and discover more about myself.
Moving to Scotland seems scary, it’s the other side of the world! But I am so excited.
What kind of musician will I grow into? With all my different musical sides, where will I fit in? What do I want to be? What am I looking for?
Maybe I will shred the keytar, maybe I’ll be a repetiteur, maybe I’ll dive deep into teaching, maybe I’ll become a killer drummer and play in super fun bands.
I’m excited!
Also, thinking about travelling to either Mexico or Canada before the next contract, and wondering when I will have time to visit Taiwan like I planned.
Moving overseas, I’m a bit scared they will be racist or prejudiced, and I don’t think these reasons are unfounded. I can be well travelled, insightful, interesting, fun, and still there’s still a chance of some stranger looking at me like I personally stole their job.
But maybe with low expectations, I can surprise them in such a way that blows their mind.
On the ship I made friends with people who I thought hated me at first. What a feeling it is to turn cautious or frustrated eyes to friendliness and warmth.
I can’t wait to meet the rest of the world.
