How does it feel to be a rockstar?
I remember the day I realized I had made it big. I was at Madison Square Garden, one of the most popular and widely known arenas in the country and my band and I, we were setting up for our show, making sure everything was in place, warming up our vocals, choosing our outfits, all that, just to make sure the show would be perfect. The funny thing about it is that no matter how hard you try to keep everything in place and in order, at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is whether you're prepared or not and honestly, I wasn't prepared at all, I don't think anyone really is. Yet I still managed to get on that stage but then I looked at how many people were in the crowd, and I almost fainted, I felt scared that I was going to mess up, that I would have disappointed so many fans but then I heard something. At first it was quiet, it was barely audible but then it got louder and louder and I finally got hit with the realization that they we're chanting my name, practically everyone in the crowd was just yelling out my name and suddenly I wasn't so scared anymore. I performed the best I could that day and everyone was just singing along to the lyrics, they knew every single word perfectly, and that's when I realized I had made it big. That's kinda how being a rockstar feels like, terrifying, but it's the good kind of terrifying because I think being scared shows that you have something valuable to lose and if you don't have something important to lose, if you're not scared, then what do you have? What's the point? Being a rockstar is scary, nerve-wrecking and just plainly terrifying but at the end of the day, I go to sleep knowing how incredibly lucky I am because every single day is a dream come true, I get to do what I love most in the world and that's something that most people can't say about their job. Being a rockstar feels like a dream come true.Â
