i posted a video on my bujogram a couple days ago of me singing caroline manning’s “i walked these streets in november” and this was my caption. i’ve never shared my voice on the internet before—i mean, speaking, yea, but definitely not singing. since i posted it, the video had gotten over 1,800 views and about 50-something comments (i respond to all my comments so the total is like 116 but a little less than half of that is me so😂). caroline herself even liked and commented on it🤧 i was drowning in love😭😭 some people shared the video on their stories and i even got some dms and comments saying i inspired people to put themselves out there or be more themselves like,, i did that??? with my singing???? my words?????? what is going on😭 i’ll link my instagram in my bio again if you want to watch the video (i’ve gotta make a linktree or smthn cuz i still want blm resources in my bio but i want you guys to be able to reach me on multiple platforms aAaaAaAA heLp) anyways point is, this was a really big decision for me and i was really reluctant to post the video, but i’ve never been gladder to have done something than i did that day. i’m so happy that i did what i did and i wouldn’t change a thing. i’ve never felt freer you guys🥺 these past two days have been insane for me, i still cant believe i actually did it like holy friCk i actually did that !! i’m so happy😭 anyways that’s all i have for you guys today. sorry if that’s too much for you to read lol but it means a lot to me and i do tend to ramble🥴 have an amazing day and don’t forgot to be completely, unapologetically, wholly you. the world will be made all the better for it🥰
