Release from Perfectionism - #GIWYFI
Updated: Dec 10, 2024
Releasing this single was nothing short of a personal revolution. From the moment of creation to its release, it all happened in under two weeks—no endless tweaking, no overthinking, no drowning in edits. It felt like magic, like a straight-up miracle. I hit play on Spotify to hear it for the first time, and y’all, I sat there thinking, "I’ve never been more proud of a release." And I meant that with my whole chest. A step closer to releasing perfectionism.
For years, I’ve had songs tangled up in this endless perfectionist trap. Some have been sitting there for over two years, gathering dust because they didn’t feel just right. But something shifted with this one. I let go of the perfectionist's mantle and picked up the performer’s mantle instead. And let me tell you, those are two very different things. I used to think they were the same—wrapped up in this idea that everything had to be flawless before I could share it. Now I know better.
This time, I wasn’t creating from a place of need or even wanting. It wasn’t about proving anything or chasing some ideal. It was about giving. Sharing. The kind of creating that feels like breathing—natural, necessary, and unstoppable. This wasn’t just me; it was something bigger, deeper, flowing through me. And instead of overthinking it, I got out of my own way and let it move. I shared the art.
To you, my fellow artist, I want to say this: create from your heart. Don’t wait until it’s “perfect.” Share your gifts with love, because the world needs what you have to offer. There’s no limit, no cap, on the freedom of expression. Your voice matters. Your art matters. So stop holding back. Let it out. Let us see it, hear it, feel it. There’s space for all of us to shine.
