Moving to other spaces

The music of Arvo Part has made me a calmer person lately. I have been surrounded with so much pressure around me and I feel I will burst out soon and become toxic to everyone. Al right, that sounded more dramatic than I imaged but I do feel that I have been under a lot of strain. Yet I turned to the pages of music and I feel at peace.

I have been to interviews lately and I feel that I am not ready for this big bad world. A part of me wants to go back home and be under the shelter of my mother and gran. To be close to the people who love and care for me. People who I feel bring peace and tranquillity in my soul.

But I suppose the world out there is as bad as I make it to be. I need to wear my suite of courage and take bold steps to success.

In Xhosa, my name means success and I need to take ownership of it.

I am 21 and stepping into the world of adulthood and I suppose my first few steps will be wobbly but I must trust myself to carry on marching and going towards my destiny and that being success.
