‟ I have been traveling a lot lately. Out of Seoul, of South Korean, of Asia. I felt like I needed to get away from myself. My skin was itching to meet the new. So I flew away. And in the end, I also met my Sones again. First time I performed alone, outside my comfort zone. I was astonished, frankly. I had a small idea of how many international fans I might have for myself, but I was still taken aback of how many actually came to support me at this festival. I have worked my best to break the language barrier and despite having to work with a translator to some extent, I hope that my ‘english moment’ did not disappoint.
Comparing this performance to my first one as a solo artist... I can only say I have grown a lot. A sentiment of pride swells my chest up. My first stage, promoting I, was sort of awkward. Anxiety had full control of me and even if vocally everything went perfect, I could tell that I appeared stiff and scared. Now, singing in front of so many persons, some of which weren’t even fans of mine nor have they ever heard of my name, felt natural. I was relaxed and cheerful. Bold. And not only that, I had fun for real. Ah. Later, I have watched a video of it and even from afar it was obvious that I have evolved. My mother, she had watched me as well, being there in the audience. She agreed with me even without knowing I had that in mind.
I am leaving Vancouver with a heavy heart for I have found something there. And I am not talking about the chubby birds. I wish we will meet again in the future. This is not a farewell.
