Passion on Mute

We often mourn the passing of others, but is it ever normal to grieve our past selves?

Join Antonella as she rewinds her lifelong relationship with music; recalling the passion that fervently burned throughout her childhood and teenage years that has been put on mute since entering young adulthood. She explores the spectrum of emotions singing has brought to her life including the love and support she gained from her friends and family, as well as the deep sadness once accepting that her identity has subsided. Perhaps, its evolved to make room for new endeavours. Can passion come back? Or if it has left, was it ever really there to begin with?
