Referring back to your conversation….. did a show once called Snow in Brunswick. It was about the local drug issues
I have been lucky to do so many great projects

That project was local community arts. @Bunniekins
It just became a way of life.
The fact performance is always live does have plenty of fear and anxiety but it is also part of the satisfaction of getting it done. I am so weird I don’t know what fear is… probably cos of early childhood abandonment. Fear is always there but I am always countering it

@Appleblossom when i met my birth mother i couldnt help but feel a sense of anger towards her for adopting me out. when she couldnt tell me my birth fathers surname i felt saddened... all i know is his first name and his nationality.

@Bunniekins Have you heard of Vanished? It’s an organisation for both adopted kids and kids who were state wards. Yep I also know others who have experienced that difficulty with, the sense of abandonment, not really feeling completely accepted into new family, sense of disconnect and not knowing one’s roots.
That stuff goes deep. It’s not stuff we recover from, as it is also essential to a sense of self. However I am learning to reframe some of experiences so that, my wounds do not block off good opportunities and friendships with other people.
Do feel a good close girly closeness with you. Haha. Not coming onto you, even though I am wearing my girls rock t shirt from a gig…lol….for gay girls. lol … I am such an outlier. I also have a t shirt from an Fm event we did… in a big conservative location…lol… gotta keep counting my blessings… lucky apple
