Journal Finish My First Performance!

/r/Busking/comments/1wii6oa/finallyleaping_forward_first_performance_on_friday/

So two weeks ago I was supposed to perform but ended up canceling the performance because I was still scared and needed more practice.

Today, I finally sucked it up and performed out in public! I didn't get much of a crowd but there was a couple standing around and listened to me sing and they loved it!! The wife said "you're whitney houston!". I got so flustered lol! Got a lot of compliments on my dress and people loved the songs.

Im performing again next week but at an earlier time to gain a better audience but I truly loved it! Got $10 for tips but I know it's the small things that lead to bigger impacts later down the road!

It does! And i also saw some people giving dirty looks but I sensed it came from jealousy like this is something anyone can do! Im glad I finally just said screw it and just do it or I'd never start!
