夢

Seems like everyone around me has a dream of some kind. Especially those of music. Whichever I turn, someone is telling me to listen to lyrics they wrote, a track they recorded or asking me to go to their performances.
My brother has been writing songs and recording them at studios with friends from Osaka, and friends from Sydney, and has even recorded a few video clips to go with the songs. Their songs have been played on the radio and aired on t.v., back home. His classmate from high school is now a real artist and released her debut single last month and is under the same label as 宇多田ヒカル. My classmate has been singing in a band for as long as I could remember and has started to record tracks and perfom even more. Other friends also perform bands at different venues every week. It seems like everyone has such a strong passion for something, and they are sharing it with everyone.

I had to think back to when was the last time I was on stage. It had been that long. I had always been on stage ever since I was a little girl. I had been dancing since I was 4 and there were the few instruments I played too. Then during high school, I gave up dancing after about 11 years. Then came university, and I started cheerleading. I remembered how much fun and great it was to perform in front of a huge crowd again. Cheerleading was my passion then, and it ruled my life 24/7. We trained about 4-6 hours everyday and it was my whole life.

And now, I realise that I don't really have that strong feeling or dream these days. No passion to really centre my life in. The people who have these dreams, whether it's a big dream to become a professional performer, or just a passion for performing, all look really キラキラ to me. みんな光っている。すっごくキラキラしている。
私もまた輝きたいなぁ～☆
