Well, for the benefit of those who don't know, I live to sing. I've been singing solo in public since I was 5, and there has not been a moment since when I stop making music.
To have my own concert has always been a dream. The point of a dream is that it may not be realisable. It was always "maybe, someday,", ended with small laughter in the end.
It was only this year that I talk about this dream more often with people. Although the small laughter at the end of the talk still came, the dream becomes more and more reachable, especially after watching and organizing a few performances in the past year.
But the enlightenment only came on Saturday 23 June. It was right after choir practice that I was suddenly talking about the concert idea again, this time with Theo. I told him that the only thing that's hindering me from organizing one myself is that I wasn't sure what people would think of it.
And his answer was "as someone who loves making music".
It totally changed my perspective. The fact that I love making music and performing in front of an audience, and that some people have told me they enjoyed my performances, means that I can make people and myself happy by having this concert.
Now, it's almost two months from the fateful day. I've confirmed the venue, some of the guest performers, almost fixed the repertoire and had a couple of practices. Trust me, it's getting more and more interesting by the minute :)
