It's not exactly a secret that I'm impressed and inspired by the FANTASTIC Lzzy Hale of Halestorm. I wrote a little about her earlier this year, and have been fortunate enough to see Halestorm live twice this year. I may or may not be going to see them again in November when they come to Hamilton Place with Three Day's Grace... Another story for another day...
From time to time, I find myself second guessing the choices I make, and pondering over decisions for too long. This blog post, for example? I've written and re-written a number of times over the last couple of weeks. Why? Because I think too much about how other people will read it, or not read it, whether they'll agree or disagree with my point of view or content. But at the end of the day it is my blog, I'll write what I want to!
On one occasion, I was waffling on whether to change a choice I had made to go with the flow of other people. I really wanted to just do my thing though. Jim says to me, "What would Lzzy Hale do, Sarah? What would Lzzy do?".
Well I will tell you what Lzzy would do - she'd wear the jeans not the dress, if that's what she wanted! She'd wear heels not flats, if that's what she wanted. And she would own it, and kick ass in the way only Lzzy Hale can. In the last couple of months, she started writing a blog of sorts - you can see it here, The Diary of Lzzy Hale. Her post from a few days ago was exactly what I needed to read. "Self-realization, is scary. Taking ownership of one’s self, is hard....
“Am I brave enough? Am I strong enough,
To follow the desire, that burns from within?"
So while the title of this post is "What Would Lzzy Do?", maybe it should be "What Would Sarah Do?". I wanted to start Bliss because I felt a passion that wasn't being ignited through any other channel in my life, and I couldn't just let it pass me by without at least exploring it. If you told the Sarah from ten years ago, that this was what she would be doing, she would laugh it off and continue on her way. I may not be Lzzy Hale, but I don't need to be! I just need to be ME.
