My Childhood Dream, The Soul of Me

I remember being a young girl sitting in front of a mirror and singing. Making up songs and dreaming about someday being one of the great singers that I had grown up seeing on our little television. Along my way across this path of my life, I began to bury my love for singing, only letting my voice out when I had moments of great joy. I hid my one childhood dream away, in a place inside myself where the hatred, abuse, and fears could not touch it. It is the part of me that is the purest expression of my soul, and I kept it safe and hidden most of my life. I have never lost my passion for music, it has always been with me, and in great moments of joyous passion I sing to the sky, and my soul glows out through every fiber of my being. I have been looking at my life recently, looking at all the things I enjoy and all the hobbies I have acquired, I was trying to find one thing that I have had my whole life, that one thing that makes the stars shine in my world, and when I reflected back on my life I found that when I am singing is when I feel truly alive. It is the thing I want to be when I grow up, the dream I have had since I was a child. I want to sing out loud, proud, and true. I want to collaborate and sing with friends, even if it is just in our living rooms that the reverberating sound waves are shared. I am done hiding this part of myself that I have hidden for so long. But where does a soul singer begin? For I want to grow through this part of myself while collaborating with others, maybe this is the reason I have attracted so many friends who are musicians/singer’s themselves… Time to reach out and touch someone 
