I consider myself to be a creative person, however, I have a lack of motivation. I have ideas to make and edit videos, something that I love to do, but I don’t do it because I’m too afraid they will turn out badly. The fear of disappointing myself and others is too powerful, and it holds me back from doing almost everything in my life.
However, there are some times when I don’t feel this way. There is a song by Billie Eilish called “come out and play” in which she urges the listener to do what they are afraid of and to keep trying. This may be cheesy, but it’s encouraging words from songs like this that inspire me to pursue those projects that I want to do. One of the lyrics in the song is “I know it makes you nervous, but I promise you, it’s worth it, to show ‘em everything you kept inside. Don’t hide.” It’s these types of messages that help me push past those negative thoughts.
Every time I listen to this song, I feel understood. I feel heard. It helps me to refocus back on whatever tasks lie ahead of me. It actually inspired me to write this blog. I was sitting in my room playing music and attempting to write, but I kept stopping because I hated the topics I chose. They were too personal, and I kept holding back from what I was writing. Then this song started playing, it reminded me of my potential, not only for this blog post but everything that I typically cower away from.
Another one of the lines in the song is “you see a piece of paper, could be a little greater, show me what you could make her, you’ll never know until you try it.” The meaning of the lyrics is obvious. If you see potential in something, you should just go for it because you will never know the outcome unless you give it a try.
The messages in this song are ones that I often forget, but I want to try and remember and think of them more. I hope you can do this, too. If there is something you want to pursue, give it a try, you may find that the outcome is better than you expected. Don’t hide.
