It's Christmas Day... So first off, Merry Christmas!
It's currently 3am, and I can't sleep, sadly it's not due to excitement- although I wish it was- so I suggest not reading on if you don't want me to dampen your festive spirits.
2012 has been a great year in many aspects, however for many reasons I am so so glad to say goodbye to it. I hold out the hope that 2013 will be better.
Whilst 2012 has been so-so and i say i am glad to say 'Adios!'; i am also terrified to progress into 2013. This next year will be really big and important, after 13 years it will be my concluding year or school and I will be pushed into the realities of living in this big world. Frankly, the thought terrifies me, especially because I really am not sure what I am going to do when I do leave school!!
All of my friends have applied to Unis and next year will be heading off to their choices(provided they get the grades-which they will) whereas I really have no plan. I really have no idea. Also, I hate change, and knowing so much of it is round the corner has meant many sleepless nights worrying and questioning how I am going to cope with 2013.
I know I want to do music, I honestly believe there is no point in doing something unless you are happy. I know I wouldn't be happy doing anything other than music, but I can't keep on holding onto the hope that between now and July 2013 someone is going to take me under their wing and help me complete my conquest. If not, then i don't know what I am going to do when school ends... i'd love to go live in London and play shows but with what money? but at the same time i can't stay on the Isle of Wight because there is nothing here(seriously) I feel that I just need someone to believe in me, I feel in my gut that good things have to be happening soon, but then, how can I be going into music if I don't believe that?? It's such a risky industry, full of games and players. I don't want to get lost but I do want to be wandering the maze.
Life is so difficult and confusing, I have no sense of direction. Although I am provided with so much support, and I know some people believe in me, it is so hard to not feel overwhelmed. It is especially hard when I watch those who are of the same age succeeding like I would love too. I am not bitter nor jealous, however watching from the sidelines motivates me to strive harder to achieve all that I want. I wish I could be a famous persons daughter so I had a straight and easy way in 😣 but I will try so hard in the next year to prove to everyone-including myself and my doubts- that it is possible to achieve what is thought to be impossible.
3am thoughts are scary and unnerving. Yet I felt I had to share, if not I think I might drive myself to (as of right now) unthinkable places.
Love Sarah
