Hello guys,
this week I came across this article from School of life (amazing check them out) on Procrastination
http://www.thebookoflife.org/natureandcausesofprocrastination/
To summarize, many times we procrastinate to do the important things in our life, not because we are lazy, but because of Anxiety. And that is something that resonated so deeply with me.
I have realized that since childhood, I have been sabotaging my own success, and made a lot of very wrong decisions, purely because of my Anxiety. Often I decided not to perform well, not to take the promotion, I rejected to move forward, so I don't hurt people around me with it - this was the crazy reasoning of me as a small child, and somewhere deep inside I kept it, very well hidden, and till today it comes up in very unexpected situations, and just makes me paralyzed.
I feel like singing is a great example for this - Often I cannot hit certain note, because I think I can't, but actually I know I am able to do that, but somewhere inside I decided - no, too scary...
I wish this restlessness, my insomnia, and plenty of other issues, was something that could magically disappear with writing one song, and I think it might take some time, but I am working on it every day.
I hope someone else in this universe might find this article or song useful, if you do, I will be very happy. If you have your own ways of overcoming anxiety, I would love to hear about them.
There is one very beautiful artist, that makes all these beautiful images, also somehow connected to this topic, so I wanted to share them with you guys

... and the lyrics
C F
All I am, is here
C F
My senses come, and leave me.
C F
Leave me now, yes, this is the right time,
C Fm
I cannot carry you anymore around
This is the right time,
To say goodbye
I've never wanted an easy way,
bu Anxiety,
you cannot stay.
All I am, is here
my senses come and leave me
holding back and stepping down
on my own, I took of the crown
This is the right time,
To say goodbye
I've never wanted an easy way,
bu Anxiety,
you cannot stay.
Hi guys, all these comments are lovely, I really did not expect that so many people will connect with this song.
Thank you for your words, that really makes me just go wow.

@hendrikdegrote thank you so much for supporting me, I really appreciate it a lot, and I get so struck every time, I wake up, look at my post from last night and I am just wow, amazed.
I see you have been supporting continuously many other artists too, and I just think it is great that how many people you impacted. Big big thank you from all of us.
I was trying to find you on discord, to thank you "personally" but I am guessing you want to keep some kind of mystery around...
Have a beautiful day,

Hallo! Great song!, I read this post and right after read a post by my friend @vera.carla and I think you might enjoy it, both feel like they are talking about the negativity we throw at ourselves when thinking about something, although yours is clearly about anxiety and hers is not, I feel like they step on common ground!

Edit: I hear your song last night and the way your voice sounds here sounded like someone I had heard before, I went to sleep wondering who that is and then I woke up and realized, here you remind me of Rachel Yamagata!!! :)
P.S. Great article on the book of life by the way!, thanks for sharing!! Procrastination is my foremost enemy!

I can very much relate to the theme of this song, having struggled with avoidant traits in my personality my whole life. I like the way the lyrics speak directly to it...
"holding back and stepping down/on my own I took off the crown". Beautiful.
And of course you know your voice and music is beautiful. The emotion comes through so well. This song was a pleasure to listen to and felt strangely comforting.
