I told my mother I was shy because everyone would be looking at me.

She said,

"Don't flatter yourself darling, you think anybody downstairs is interested in you? They're not.

Your job is to go and make them happy"

And I brought my guitar and went down and sing.

And from that day on,

I was no longer the center of attention.

You're the center of mine.

There's so many things stopping us from doing what we want to do.

We're afraid people would laugh at us, people would judge.

But everyone is only worried about themselves.

You do your own thing. And look at who would laugh.

Even if they do, you lived your life the way you want to.

You lived out your dreams.

Wanna do something?

Just do it.

Even if you fail, you know at least you tried.

If you don't try, you'll just be imagining for the rest of your life.

Love,
