YES! You are so inspiring! i want to SING. Always have but that pesky self esteem and all that. i started singing out loud again at home and work because i will no longer stop being myself. It's just too late in the game to let petty ego fears run my life anymore. i recently learned an aria from La Boheme and while i'm not great, you make me believe i could be. i just need somewhere to practice, and eventually a teacher, but i don't want to put this passion on the back burner anymore. i always thought i had to be perfect and as good as Whitney Houston, but with time running out and a new-found drive to stop giving a *#_@_ about what others think or needing their approval, this desire feels like it wants to burst outta me like an alien! And i do believe i'm a decent singer; not too worried i'll hurt anyone's ear drums or get tomatoed😉 But it would be so amazing to see just how good i could get, and if there is greatness in me. i have this fantasy of going into the forest and singing for the trees and critters, or standing on a cliff by the ocean and seeing if my voice could get as big as the sea😊 On a stage somewhere, singing from the depths of my heart and soul and putting so much love into it the audience is bathed in it. i want to make hairs on arms stand up, because when that happens to me it is absolutely exquisite and to give that gift to others would feel wonderful. i've been toying with the idea of busking down at the city hall square, to face my stage fright and just to let it OUT! This has given me the inspiration, just need to find the guts. And just wanted to say how grateful i am you follow your passion. Thank you!❤️🙏
