Dear Julia Nunes,
I found you on YouTube only a few days ago, and I’m already in love with your music. Thank you for not being shy about your talent and your gift. The world needs to hear this music.
You inspire confidence in me that I didn’t realize I had. In the sidebar of one of your videos, you mentioned that you knew you didn’t have perfect pitch, but you liked it that way, and I agree. The lack of transparent perfection makes you real, and makes the emotions you sing about real. I like that you don’t hide behind a studio microphone and auto tuning.
Accepting my own imperfections is something that I’ve been fighting with for a while now, and it seems to be the root of most of my problems. I always feel too short, too fat, too out of shape, too bossy, too controlling, too angry, or too different. And I use my perception of my worthlessness as an excuse to hide in my room and refuse to participate in my own life.
So thank you for helping me see that it’s not the perfections, but the imperfections that make me beautiful and unique. Thank you for proclaiming your confidence in yourself and your music and showing me the way to do the same.
Love,
Bri
