Greetings and good afternoon to all my dear and esteemed friends at Rising Star. A new day has arrived, and as always, I'm back to share a new post with you. In this case, I'm bringing you a new story. I've dedicated it to letter R244 Cinthia. As you'll see in the story, she's an accomplished saxophonist, but she wants to change something about her reality. I'll leave you with the story. Let's get going.

Friends, Cinthia is a saxophonist with a distinguished career. She has played on major stages and with major artists. Despite other saxophonists struggling to find work, it's always been easy for her. Perhaps the universe held her in high regard or perhaps it's just pure chance, no one knows. Since she started playing the saxophone, she's always done so alongside others, forming a group. She hasn't had the experience of being a soloist or anything like that. The closest thing to that was when she was just starting out, but it was short-lived and nothing remarkable.

For example, when she learned, she joined several other bandmates and founded a small group. She played the saxophone, and the others did other jobs. But that group didn't last long. But it served as a preparation. A few days after she left that group, she joined another, and then another. Truthfully, she wasn't part of a band for very long in the beginning, especially because the groups failed or broke up. But she doesn't see it as wasted time; the experiences she's had have always taught her. She had great moments with many of those bands and performed on many stages. But when you haven't been part of something for a long time, people sometimes stop connecting with you, or you feel like you haven't been part of anything. You'll see why.

Now back to the present, she has gotten a steady job. She's part of an orchestra that creates music for games and movies. But she hardly ever does concerts or anything like that. But at least they pay well. She's been with it for four years now. Cinthia is happy because she's been able to do what she's always loved, which is playing the saxophone, but she's always felt like she doesn't have a direct connection with the audience, which is what she loves most.

So, these last four years have made these mixed feelings worse for her a bit. The orchestra she works for always works in closed, controlled spaces, since making music for games and films requires very high quality, and it's done in those places. But these places lack an audience, which is what she likes. She's endured these feelings for so long because she was tired of traveling with so many groups and now she finally had something steady. But sometimes steady doesn't mean you find it rewarding, and that happens with any type of work, even within your art.

She started to think that she's only a few months away from turning 50, and although she's had a long career, the excitement of her younger days has been overshadowed, and now she can say she has to retire, and yet she still doesn't feel fulfilled. She doesn't have a connection with the public, so she's rethinking many things. She longs for a change of scenery, something that makes her feel new or gives her excitement. She's tired of the same faces and the same space. It's time to do something. The dilemma is, what the hell.

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She didn't want to be part of another group that breaks up every day. Or be part of another band that always plays in the same place and never changes its scene. The truth is, she found herself in a sea of ​​ideas and worries. She was a little overwhelmed by so much worry. One day, her car broke down, and she had to get to work in a few minutes. She couldn't take a taxi because there was a terrible traffic jam, so her best option was to take the train that was leaving in a few minutes. She quickly went to the subway and bought a ticket. As she was about to get on the train, she saw a man playing the violin on the subway. And she saw that many people were listening to him and applauding him. The man seemed happy. But she didn't have much time to see why the train was leaving.

But that day she recognized what a way out of her current problem could be: becoming a street saxophonist. But that scared her, and she couldn't bring herself to do it. She didn't want to lose her secure job, but she didn't want to continue in the same situation either. After some thought, she decided she would reduce her hours at the orchestra so she could dedicate some days to playing on the street. That way, she could receive a kind of public contact and have her work appreciated. It was a wise decision; when she started doing it, she finally felt what she had been searching for and longing for: fulfillment. Perhaps in the future she will quit her job completely and dedicate herself to playing on the street, so she can see new places and faces every day. But that will be her decision.

Friends, this has been my story for today. I'm so grateful for your visit to my post. I just want to leave you the invitation for the next one. Have a great day.
