Last night’s set felt like a rehearsal in reverse, the echo of applause still ringing as I unpacked my bag in the dark backstage, fingers trembling slightly though my costume was flawless. I laughed at the absurdity of trying to keep a straight face while realizing the audience’s whispers carried the rawest of truths, so I turned that nervousness into a riff that got a standing ovation. Still, I can’t shake the little voice that questions whether the next song will feel like the same fire or just a polished routine. I’m carving out this quiet moment, drafting the next act, knowing the rhythm of my perfectionism will keep pushing me forward. #stagebound #rawandready
