Do you ever just catch yourself humming in public to your favorite song or singing in the shower constantly? Or just harmonizing to almost every song and driving literally everyone crazy but you just can't help yourself? Music is in your soul.

Well, ever since I can remember I have ALWAYS wanted to be a famous musician. I swore to myself when I was younger that if I didn't make it big as a singer or something musical in the future then I failed but now I see how wrong I was to think like that.

So what if you don't make it as a famous pop star? Is it really the end of the world if you're not singing in front of millions of people each night? Yeah sure, it would be AMAZING to be in the spotlight and have other people listen to my songs and cheer me on but if it wasn't meant to be then it isn't meant to be.

Not to toot my own horn I swear, but time and time again people have told me what an amazing singer I am and questioned me for not doing anything about it. While I did use to sing in talent shows in high school, glee club, drama club, choir, and perform in front of my guitar class, I never really auditioned for anything further out of fear.

Sure it would be nice to be the next American Idol star, but sometimes that's not part of your path in life and that's a-okay.

I remember the first time I ever sang in front of my guitar class back in high school and how amazing it felt to have people come up to me and tell me that they enjoyed my performance. There really isn't anything else like it and while I do miss performing even if it was just for my high school guitar class, it was something that genuinely made me happy.

While I may never be a famous singer or "make it big" in the music industry, I can always just sing and make covers for my own pleasure. Just because life doesn't turn out how you thought it would be doesn't mean that you can't still find happiness in other aspects of life.

Once I gave up on the idea of being this huge internet sensation, I decided to focus more on school and find other things that make me happy like working with children and helping others. So yes, there's life after being trapped in the arts in high school, I promise. No, it isn't the end of the world if you don't make it or try to make it in the music industry.

Music will always be a part of who I am and that will never change, but there's more to me than just a pretty voice.
