Growing Up

Hey there! My name is Tasha Evin. I live in a small town called Cranbrook in British Columbia. I am a songwriter/guitarist/vocalist and I play in a band called Lillix.

I turned 21 in June and all of a sudden I feel that life just started getting really serious. I have to start making life decisions that determine my destiny, like who I will marry, what I am going to do with my career and where I will live. What do I really want in life?  I don’t have a straightforward answer to this question right now. It’s kind of like asking a 10-year-old what she wants for Christmas in five years... You don’t even know what you want that year, let alone in five years! It scares me.

I just want to do what’s right. Are these decisions really going to determine whether or not I am going to be happy in the future? If that is the case, then I am terrified of doing something wrong. But you have to “learn from your mistakes.” OK then, should I be embracing my mistakes now?

One thing I do know is that I need to trust myself more. I am the only one who knows what I like and what I want. I just have to go with my gut. Yeah, but what if your gut feels like throwing up sometimes? It’s easier said than done. Sometimes I wish I could just look into a crystal ball, but hey, what’s the fun in that? In conclusion, I really don’t need to worry about it. Deep down I know things have already been taken care of. Everything happens for a reason, right?
