Sounds of Souls

What does our minds go through when we see street musicians?  Do we categorize them as beggars?  Do we see them as low end of the society?  This is what’s wrong with everyone in the world today (not judging, I am the same way); we like to place people on a scale of our own before we even know who they are and what they are capable of.

For the longest time, I thought to myself that street musicians are nothing more than people who knows a little bit of their instruments trying to make a living from it.  Well, that is before I got to know them; now, I do not share that same feeling and my respect toward their dedications are sincere.

Most of them have regular jobs, but during their free times, they want to do what they really enjoys, their passions, even with every judgmental eyes that pass by them and every comments that goes through their ears, they are not phased, not when they truly know what their passion is about.

Those people make me think about myself, am I willing to put myself out there for the world to see, take all the criticisms and still stand up tall?  Well, at the point, there is no other options for me.  Since one year and a half ago, I told myself I cannot fail at any cost, since I have done so once already.  But I would love to know where those people get their courage…
