Music Man

The smell of coffee is so enticing, as I listen to the musical stylings of a man, who could serenade me any day. I feel the warmth of coffee sooths my soul. As I listen I wonder who this man is and how do I make him fall in love with me. Any man who is musically talented has a place in my heart. Besides wonder if he is single and ready to mingle, I just enjoy his talent and his love for what he’s doing.

I love my job as a resident advisor, and am preparing to love my future in ultrasound. I will still think what if, what if I pursued my dream and love for music. I have done auditions, but have yet to catch a break. I think the toughest part is having to do the auditions without my parents full approval. I know they want all my dreams to come true, but are worried that it will lead me to a dead end. Last year I was given the opportunity to try out for a TV show that might help fulfill my dreams of a career in music, I was planning to make the trip to Chicago by myself like I had many times before. One spring afternoon I had incoming call from my parents. My parents called to inform me that my whole family would be making the tip with me to support me at my audition. At that moment I could have broke down and cried, I couldn’t have been happier. I finally had what I wanted the full support of my family. Unfortunately my dreams came to a screeching halt a few days later, when my parents called to tell me they were unable to go. With such little time to create a new plan I had to forgo the trip. As I watch the show that I could have been on I’m left with the I wonder if that was my chance.

Music is my life, a passion that I will never give up on and something I will die trying to let my voice be heard. This musical man is just like me, in every way and I applaud him as he continues his jorney.

Moral of the story: Pursue something you are passionate about or regret and wonder why you never did.
