Performance vs. Behind the scenes

When I was a child, all I wanted to do was to preform. My mother put me in dance lessons, and then after an bad injury a couple years into it, put me in music lessons. After six years on playing through all middle school and most of high school, I just stopped. I wasn't bad by any means, but I wasn't a rockstar. I just left to pursue being a teenager I guess. I don't even remember what my real reasoning was. I just quit. I question my decision now, but if I would have kept at it I might have missed something that I love now. I've come to realize in the last few years, how much better I like being behind the scenes. I can make the costumes, hang up the set, and run the music as long as I don't go up in front of anyone. It's funny, I don't think I would have ever realized how much more I love this, than if I would have left playing so long ago.
