Coming Back to My Passion: The Pull of Music When Everything Else Says "No"

For years, I’ve tried to convince myself that I wanted something different. Something serious, something more aligned with what I thought was expected of me. At one point, I even set my sights on international law. It felt like the right thing to do, the responsible thing to do. But every time I thought I had found my path, something would pull me back. And that something was always music.

The funny thing is, I’ve tried different directions—enrolled in culinary school twice (the first time stepping away because of health issues), completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training, and even became a certified English as a Second Language teacher. All worthy pursuits. But no matter how far I wandered, I always found myself back in music’s orbit.

Each time I got involved in music and things started to pick up, I’d feel alive. There’s something about performing—whether it’s at Folkarama, an open mic, or any small gig—that makes me feel seen. It feels like home. But here’s the twist: every time I leaned into my musical passions, I felt guilty. Ashamed even.

Why? Because it didn’t feel "serious" enough. It wasn’t academically prestigious, and because I came from a family of immigrants that weighed heavily on me. I’m the youngest of three, and I could never seem to figure out what I wanted to do academically. On top of that, I struggled with maintaining good grades—something I later found out in my 30s was due to ADHD. By the time I was in eighth grade, my confidence in my intellect had crumbled. I carried that insecurity with me for years.

I kept telling myself that music wasn’t a “real” option. That I should be doing something more "respectable" in the eyes of society and my family. And so, I wavered. Even when I had momentum with my music, I'd let insecurities creep in—the fear that I wasn’t a strong enough vocalist, or that I didn’t sound like other female artists. I'd let the weight of my family's opinions and my own self-doubt pull me away from something I loved.

I always had one foot in and one foot out. Never fully committing, never fully allowing myself to embrace music as more than just a hobby.

But something shifted this year. Something snapped in me, like a quiet but powerful voice saying, "Enough." I realized I’ve spent too long letting other people’s expectations and my own insecurities dictate my choices.

And that voice? It was telling me to give myself a real shot—to embrace abundance in all areas of my life, including the one place I’ve always felt most alive: music.

I may not be able to control everything, but I can control the actions I take. I can decide to honor my passions and let them guide me instead of letting fear or doubt steer the ship.

Now, the real question is: What are my end goals? I’ve spent so long trying to fit into other people’s expectations that I forgot to figure out what I want. And that’s what I’m focusing on now—defining success on my own terms.

Here’s what I know for sure: People will always have ideas about what’s best for you. But at the end of the day, you’re the one who has to live with the decisions you make. So why not make decisions that honor your heart? You can’t always control whether people believe in you, but you can choose to believe in yourself.

And that’s where I am now—letting go of guilt and stepping fully into what makes me feel alive.

Spirit of Shackleton - GAdventures - Jan 11, 2024

I stalked the boat and saw it was coming in so I went down to the dock and watched it dock. 

Had some other people from the boat join me - we were all giddy with excitement.  Tomorrow at 4pm we board!  Not sure yet when we set off but here we go!  They have decided to do the trip in reverse so we get to go to Falklands and South Georgia first (bc of the bird flu outbreak - they want to get there in case it gets worse and gets closed) and then Antarctica will be at the end.  Which also means the drake will be the last thing we do....(well that sounds a bit ominous..).  But fret not - current weather reports are that the weather was bad between falklands and South Georgia too with 6-8m waves....

Wait and see.  Wait and see!

Do What You Love...Love What You Do

I'm grateful every morning I wake up that my wife and I decided to leave the 9 to 5 grind in search of something better for our family.

I know how scary it can be, I know how hard it seems, but trust me...

The payoff is unlike anything you'll ever feel in your life.
