This was a blank notebook. A brand-new notebook that caught my eye from a store shelf, and I went to its appointment obediently. Its motto is “Life is too short to limit yourself,” and it’s no longer blank 😈. It holds some very special pages: it carries my first compositions in years 🙈🎉
As I’ve always said, facing composing again was something that terrified me. I was scared no good ideas would come to me. I was scared that no ideas would come out at all, even bad ones, and that the page would stay blank longer than my patience or self-esteem could handle.
But the time came to face it after so many years without composing and to leave that creative block behind. Sooner or later, I wanted and needed to take this step in my project. First, I broke down all my barriers and conquered all my fears of exposing myself by playing, making mistakes, and sharing it online, where it will be saved forever. And once freed, a lot of ideas have naturally been flowing for the past couple of weeks. It’s becoming normal that suddenly songs, melodies, or ideas pop into my head. And when that happens, I quickly grab my guitar and start playing and writing. If I don’t have the guitar, I record the idea on my phone, singing it. If I’m walking down the street, people look at me like I’m crazy. The good news is, they’re right 🙈
For now, I want to work a bit more on the songs before sharing them with you and hearing your opinion. But for now, I can loudly sing my most desired words: I’m composing my own songs again, and I feel really happy ❤️
