I realize I haven't written anything on here in a while. Sorry about that. My life has been pretty okay lately. But right now, I really feel like expressing my feelings on a certain topic. That would be singing. I am sooo tired of not being able to sing whenever I want to. I can't ever sing in my house, or even my own room without being made fun of or yelled at. And I'm sick of it. I understand that it's a bit weird that I'm a girl and I sing tenor. It may shock you at first hearing a guy's voice come out of a girl. It's taken me a while to accept it myself, but now that I have, I'm confident and proud of it. But it is so insulting when my own family doesn't want to put up with something that I love. It is especially hurtful when it is in fact your own dad yelling at you for even just humming the low bass notes along with a song. I've learned to hum quietly enough that you would have to strain your ears to hear me, and he even has noise cancelling headphones. But apparently I'm just "too distracting" for him. I realize this may seem like a bit of rant, but sometimes I just need to get all my feelings out. And realize that if you can sing in your own house, you are so, so lucky. I have such a difficulty singing in front of people, because I'm used to the first response being insults. But I do feel like my confidence is slowing growing back from singing loudly in my car with the windows down and dancing to my music on long walks. Maybe some day it'll finally grow back completely....
