The Dreamcollapser (broken)

Posted on by — Leave a reply

If anyone ever uses their power against you, pressures you to do something against your will and threatens that otherwise it will end badly, don’t accept it. It’s hard because you think your future is going to fall apart. Even if no one around you has your back and everyone sides with the powerful person to save their own butts, stay strong and try to find people you can trust and who will have your back. 🌹

When I was 19, I had to look for people who would support me because I had been sexually intimidated, stalked and threatened by my guitar teacher at the conservatory in the previous 2 years. The school, including teachers and director, buried their heads in the sand and I ultimately had to seek justice with the help of a lawyer. Unfortunately, a lot of damage had already been done and it continues to be a process of recovery until this day.

With this piece of music, I hope I can give strength and encouragement to speak up for yourself if you are in a similar situation. Don’t forget they will do anything to convince you that you are the one who’s to blame and that their behaviour is normal and acceptable. Don’t doubt yourself!

The music reflects the emotional rollercoaster I went through from the start of my study at the Conservatorium in 1996 (I was so happy and proud that I was accepted!) until the moment that I was exhausted and broken because of everything that happened to me in 2000, just before I started planning a new start in my life.
