I can't believe that I'd be admiring some people that do such lighthearted and silly content and play little games with each other for a living, but here I am. Even I myself can't believe it but... their videos saved me from the seemingly never ending abyss that I've been stuck in. Thank you for kindling a flame in me. Thank you for giving me the courage to change my fate. Thank you, for being the star that guided me out of the dark.
There's so much I want to thank you for, but I doubt I would get the chance. Nevertheless, even if I will never be heard, I will always be on the sidelines, cheering you on as you pursue your goals. Even if my sparks of passion fail to touch the sky, even if I am just a pile of ashes whose flames has been extinguished, I shall watch as the stars soar towards the sky.
Needless to say, I've become a die hard Twosetter. Every single update from them I click faster than 22 notes a second. Whatever they love, I love too. Whatever that makes me feel closer to them, I will love. Their love for the violin has slowly but surely made their way to my heart, and the vibrations from the strings amplified by wood filled my soul with warmth. Not to mention, their vast violin repertoire that I found thanks to Twoset only gave me more of a reason to pick up this new instrument. The first few months were painfully tough, but a certain duo kept me going.
I've always believed in their cause of making classical music more relevant to the next generation. My parents definitely caught wind of my obsession after my requests to buy Twoset apparel. Sometimes they would buy me the merch if I did well in my exams. Thankfully I did, and they even bought tickets to see their virtual world tour. They would always be a reminder for me not only to practice both my instruments, but whatever that I wish to improve on. And a reminder of their light that guided me, even till now.
Years flew by faster than sacrilegious boi could mess up Flight of the Bumblebee. It was a weekend in Marina Bay Sands, till an all too familiar figure was spotted in the corner of my eye.
"Brett!?"
Oh. My. Fugue-ing. God. Are my eyes deceiving me? Blood rushed into my now steamy hot head, my heart desperately trying to break free from my chest.
"Go on, get a wefie with your hero." My parents teased me.
It's not every day you see one of your favorite person in public. I had to seize this chance. Mustering every single ounce of my courage, I caught up to him managed to snap a wefie.
"Thank you so much!!!" I couldn't believe that one half of Twoset is just next to me right now.
"Our daughter Gilda is a huge fan of you! Always talking about how you and Eddy have inspired her!" My mom suddenly popped up right behind me.
"Mom!" My cheeks heat up in an instant.
"Aww, thank you! That really means a lot."
Thanks to his extroverted nature, we even had a short convo. Actually, it went from a short convo of my violin progress to a life confession. I told him everything I've felt, from how Twoset inspired me. Where did my introverted self get that courage to go up to them, let alone say all of this?
"Wow, that's amazing. I'm so happy for you!" He said, "Continue to follow your dreams!"
"Thank you, you two really are my shining stars, lighting up my way in the dark. I really don't know what I'd do without you guys..."
And that silenced even the extroverted Brett. I don't know why I even said that. The blood in my cheeks felt like they were boiling. How could I face him after saying something so embarrassing?
"I have to go goodbye thank you for everything!" I said in lightning speed before I bolted off covering my face. I even heard a faint chuckle from behind, making my already red face steaming hot.
Deep down I wished I continued that conversation further, but after all that stuff I would bury myself in a hole. But what I said, no matter how cheesy, was the truth. You two truly are my shining stars.
In the corner, I saw a man clad in black. Who in the name of Ling Ling would wear a black hoodie in Singapore's weather? His eyes were directed towards Brett. Was he just too shy to see him? But no, his eyes were filled with not anxiety, but were like the howling winter wind if I've ever experienced one, sending chills down my spine. Is it just the embarrassment from earlier getting to me? I hope so.
