YN POV

In my dimly lit room, I strummed my guitar with passion, recording a cover of "Kiss - I was made for loving you" for my YouFur channel. Posting videos online allowed me to showcase my musical skills and connect with others who share the same love for music. It was a comfort zone where I felt safe, far from the judgmental eyes of the real world.

As the lyrics flowed from my lips, I couldn't help but smile, grateful for the gift of a voice that didn't require auto-tune. In the world of YouFur, I could be myself without the fear of scrutiny. The virtual audience gave me a sense of belonging that was hard to find in the outside world.

But outside my digital haven, I struggled with shyness and social anxiety. The thought of playing in front of real people terrified me. I often found myself blending in with humans, trying to go unnoticed and avoiding situations that would draw attention, even though I'm a human, I still have to blend in.

While my online presence as "GuitarSoloMan" allowed me to express my passion for music, it also highlighted the dichotomy of my personality. Online, I exuded confidence and enthusiasm, but in reality, I battled self-doubt and a constant craving for approval. My parents approve of me but I also want the others to approve of me. I sound like a spoiled child thinking the world revolves around me.

I watched the recording back, my voice is a little different but I felt a mix of emotions. Despite my initial hesitation, I chose not to edit the video extensively. I wanted to present myself as authentically as possible, with all my imperfections. After all, my journey as "GuitarSoloMan" had always been about expressing my true self through music.

While scrolling through YouFur to distract myself, my eyes widened when I stumbled upon a post that caught my attention. The post was from none other than Buster Moon.

Buster was looking for a guitarist! My heart skipped a beat at the thought of such an opportunity. It felt like destiny had intervened, giving me a chance to be a part of something bigger than myself.

Excitement surged through me as I typed my response to the post, introducing myself as "YN," concealing my YouFur account and expressing my interest in the opportunity. It was a bold move for someone as introverted as me, but deep down, I knew I had to take this chance. Perhaps, this could be the stepping stone I desperately needed to break free from my self-imposed shell.

As I pressed the "send" button, my hands trembled with a mix of excitement and nervousness. Doubts tried to creep in, questioning my decision to put myself out there. But I pushed those thoughts aside, reminding myself that I had genuine talent and passion to offer.

The uncertainty of the outcome loomed large, but I had to believe in myself and embrace this opportunity to showcase my musical abilities. This could be the moment that changes everything, and I couldn't afford to let my insecurities hold me back any longer.
