Now I can stand up on the stage again like I used to after five years of sitting down while I sang.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I can't believe that I get to stand on the stages I stand on every summer, and get to sing the songs that I sing.
Onstage is the one time in my day that I can let it all out.
I've been performing on stage since I was six years old.
I was convinced that I was going to be onstage for the rest of my life.
I've done stand-up since I was 18 years old, and I absolutely love it, but I used to go onstage, and the audience was my peers. Now I go onstage, and I could be their mother.
There's no such thing as standing still and just singing a song. I love jumping into the crowd. I love to dance.
During my stage shows, I am so energetic. It's constant! I just don't stand still. I actually got given a mic stand from my team to say 'Just calm down. Stand still for at least two songs.' But now I just pick it up and walk around with it.
I'm perfectly fine now if I never went on stage again.
I can never stand in one place on stage for more than a minute and am always singing, dancing and jumping.
I can't believe how much time has passed. The first time I did stand-up I was 17, and I was really a stand-up once I was 19 in New York, and now I'm 41, and I still feel like I haven't found myself onstage.
