Another piece that should be required reading for all college students! We’re so afraid of failure and looking “stupid” that we often forego taking on challenges that tap into our inner dormant strengths. It’s so liberating to branch out and leave the ego on the shelf. Look at all you’ve mastered. You should continue to give yourself daily “attagirl” claps on the back! 🙌🏻💖
Cheers to all the "jangly noisecrap" that means something new is happening! I got anxious just reading this... it's SO much easier to encourage other people to do hard things than to do them myself.
Love this Aly :) I can’t count the number of times not immediately being great at something threw me for a loop. Thank you for the reminder to embrace the ol’ beginner’s mindset.

This piece makes me want to clear off my desk and practice, and maybe play -- thank you, Aly. Absolutely love this reflection. ❤️
You *are* a writer. Full stop. (heading off to consult notes from Aly's writing seminar).
I appreciate this content so much. It came at the perfect time as I evaluate my own relationship to music and make peace with my past / former selves.

Hmm... I may just have discovered my epitaph! 🤣
Big hug! 🧡
(Also, that photo of Douglas made me smile SO big. I ran into him a month or two ago. He is still the BEST.)

I loved hearing about the challenges and opportunities of your creative process, Alié. Beautiful, and thank you.
