New Year - New Name

Saying goodbye to Luna…

When I first started out doing magic, I was 12 and I was one of the shyest people you’ve ever met. The thought of going on stage to perform in front of people was terrifying. I thought if I had a stage name, then I could go on stage without fear of making a fool of myself, because people wouldn’t really know who I was. If I was a total failure up on stage, it couldn’t follow me around because I wasn’t the one up there, Luna was. Luna was a confident person, I was not. So I could put aside my fears because Luna wasn’t afraid of anything. There were some times that I wished I hadn’t created a stage name, one instance is when I would introduce myself to people I always felt like I was lying to them and I pride myself on not lying in my routines, except for the big lie of who I was. I have loved being Luna, but I have realized that she has served her purpose. Luna taught me how to be confident, how to put myself out there without fear of failure. She taught me that I can be on a stage without fear of failure, without fear of being made fun of. She taught me thats it’s okay to be my authentic self. Even though I am saying goodbye to Luna, I am grateful for everything she’s given and taught me and I’ll never forget how much I’ve grown, while being Luna.

The decision to start being myself again wasn’t easy. I have thought about for about a year. Not being Luna anymore, allows me to link my personal life with my professional one. Becoming myself again, allows me to further my career with oppurtunities I didn’t have before. (Some of which are coming up soon!). I want to thank everyone who has supported Luna, it is because of all of you that I finally feel confident enough to be myself. So thank you!
