this isn't really a poem entry, just what is on my mind a lot lately and i wish someone were to listen to me instead of shutting me out.

i had never been one afraid to take risks. my name means the moon in spanish, so i tend to use the energy of my name into everything i do. the moon is strong, constantly beaming, and bringing light to the darkness. something i have always strived to be, because how can you be named luna but be afraid of the dark? recently, i have been terrified of the dark the darkness of taking risks. i had set my mind on becoming a journalist for years but it was never my number one choice. i settled. i started college this month and i realized i was not happy with my career choice. i have always been a music lover, for almost my whole eighteen years of living i had done nothing but sing, dance, play instruments, produce music, write lyrics. it had been something that came naturally to me. something i love and have a passion for. we are taught from a young age that doctors, lawyers, nurses, and scientists were the moneymakers. if you had a career in that, you're well off. what about the artists? i made the bold decision to change my major from journalism to music. but with this decision there is a melancholy feeling i have in my chest. if i take this risk and fail i will regret. if i don't take this risk i will regret. if i take this risk and succeed, how will i feel? i am terrified and excited. excited and terrified for the outcome of it all. the only thing that keeps me running on this dream is the fact there are plenty of artists that took this risk and succeeded. i want to be one of those artists with everything inside of me. i want to make music to inspire and to let people know that with dark days, there will be a light. i want to make music for myself, to let myself know that those years of depression, family trauma, and insecurities, that i am worth something. i had always been worth something. i hope i can become that something.
please leave any advice or fears of your own in the comment section if you want somebody to listen. i will listen with an open heart and mind.
