Some things are written in us from the start
# My mother says I sang before I talked.

#### And that's a good way to communicate the reality of who I am: I have always felt I was made to write and do music.  Always.  There are pictures of me rocking out with a fake microphone when I was three.  I was always "making up shows" to perform.  I loved pretending I was an opera singer, as well as dressing up.

#### When I was 8, I told my mom that "this town is too small for me" and started setting my sights on LA, after hearing whispers of that being where you go to pursue dreams.

#### And I always had those dreams.

#### There's been a whole lot of life since those young days, but this music thing has been constant. It's in my bones to do.

#### It's caused me a lot of suffering, but that deep *knowing* it's the right thing has never changed.

#### 2018 feels like a big year--like the year I've been waiting for/preparing for my whole life. 

### Dreams are worth it.  For all of the hiccups, I still believe that.

xx,
Kay

P.S. If you'd like to hear me sing, here is [a cover of a Sarah McLachlan song](https://steemit.com/music/@kayclarity/friday-night-lullaby-angel-by-sarah-mclachlan-request-by-dreemit), or [a recent original I wrote just for my Steemit audience](https://steemit.com/openmic/@kayclarity/open-mic-songwriters-challenge-a-vulnerable-song-about-my-sister-s-death-theme-till-we-meet-again).
