Performing is like a foreign language that I have heard spoken countless times, and can often seem to interpret, yet I have been finding beyond my abilities to speak. While watching someone perform, I often feel as though I am engaged in conversation, but more often still, I merely bear witness to the often personal exploration of the performer.

During a particularly resolute afternoon, I wrote a list called "The Things I Would Do If I Could Do Anything". I redrafted the list several times over the course of some months, and found that music always topped the list in some form. Among other things, I aspired to sing, front a band, perform with Alice Smith, Beyoncé, and/or Lianne La Havas, dance ballet, be an astronaut, and to play an instrument.
