The symbol # has become a common symbol in our language in current years. We use it to highligh such things as: events, people or emotions, to name a few. For me, “be your #” symbolizes a passion. Music is my “#.” It is as much a part of me as my right arm. Music allows me to express myself, but it also comes with side effects. I continue to overcome these side effects inflicted on me by my own insecurities. I question my talent, my age; I question giving myself the permission to pursue something I love. Sometimes these boundaries are little pebbles that I can push aside. Other times they feel like a boulder weighing me down. I continue to push myself- to believe in the journey.

No matter your age or how silly you may think your “#” is, try to make it more than just a symbol. Maybe being a painter is your #. Take a class, hell take a couple classes. Find your people who share your “#”. The only thing standing between us and our “#” is air.

I would love to hear about how you are being your “#”. Share your story. Message me, maybe it will be my next inspiration for a song.
