Are You My People?
I've come to understand something fundamental about myself. The reason I've spent so much of my life—certainly since my teenage years—surrounding myself with musicians, artists, and songwriters is that they possess a unique ability to speak their truth. Whether through song, performance, or art, they express their innermost thoughts and feelings in a way that resonates with me deeply.
Having grown up in an environment where emotions were unwelcome and often actively discouraged, I found myself yearning for genuine connection and understanding. As a child, I often felt isolated, as if everyone else around me was incapable of real emotion, like robots without the capacity for depth or feeling.
This perception led me to find solace in writing.
I would lose myself in words, scribbling incessantly, even going so far as to cover my bedroom walls with phrases, thoughts and fragments of poetry or potential song lyrics. This became my first outlet, a canvas for my voice to exist. It was a form of expression that felt necessary and liberating.
As I grew older, I sought out local bands and creative circles, immersing myself in communities where people were unafraid to vocalize their emotions. Writing lyrics, collaborating, and simply being around these individuals who sang, spoke, and shared what was on their hearts brought a sense of belonging I had longed for.
To this day, these people remain my community. I've realized that what truly matters to me is being connected with those who dare to have meaningful conversations, even if they're difficult, or intensely personal. I'm drawn to those who embrace vulnerability, sensitivity, and introspection without fear.
What I value most is the ability to strip away superficialities and talk about what genuinely matters. If you are someone who feels compelled to embark on this journey of self-discovery and connection, I'm here to support and accompany you. You're the kind of person I seek out—my people.
I am open and eager to connect with those who share this desire to live authentically. Let us work together to explore the depths of our feelings and truths. If you're ready to find stillness within and voice your innermost thoughts, then let's begin this journey as partners in the pursuit of genuine expression.
