What I can't do vs what I'm doing.

in Hive Naija6 months ago (edited)

Motivational speakers will say "Life is full of experience and we should make the most of it" and that we should try doing things we haven't done before, now they went further in saying we will find fulfillment in trying those things, what about someone like me who doesn't know how to sing but love singing, I should follow the motivational speaker and go out to sing in a public place.

Now imagine I followed what a motivational speaker had said and decided to sing in public, then I held the microphone and started singing like someone that is crying or I was singing faster than the instrument or let me just end here, I was confusing the instrumentalists on what to play, now the question is, did I just disgraced myself or it was fulfillment I found?

What's that one thing I think I can do but haven't done?

Well, this requires a lot of thinking and gladly I gave it that thorough thought, and I've come to conclude that the one thing I think I can do but haven't gotten the positive feedback to do is "singing" I feel like no one has noticed my singing potentials, I don't know if those people can't see it or it's me trying to hide it, that I don't know yet.

I love singing "Not in Public Though Just from the Comfort of My Restroom" I mean who doesn't, often at home when I try to sing my sister will not allow me to finish the first line of the song then boom she will scream from wherever she is and be like " Tari please don't start" I want peace in this house then I'd be confused and be like " so my singing is a destroyer of peace" deep down inside of me I feel like singing is something I think I can do but I haven't gotten the guts to do it because the feedbacks I'm getting from people is negative.

One thing I thought I couldn't do but I'm doing it now.

Now that would be "writing" I never thought I could write, I've never seen myself becoming a writer but here I am writing on Hive almost every day. Well, I write but not this kind of writing where I get to share my thoughts and ideas with a large number of people, writing then was just a normal thing for me to do, cause back then in school, I just read the materials given or went further by making some research and when its time for the exam I just offload everything I've learned through reading.

That was one major thing I did, I never thought of taking writing as a hobby or a skill. I was having a conversation with my cousin when he said everyone can become a writer, I smiled and was trying to object to the statement he just made, then I asked why he said that, and in his words "Everyone can write you just have to find your style of writing and focus on it" and besides you can write about anything, being a writer doesn't require you to be boxed, it enables you to explore and share your thoughts on anything.

Sometimes when I write something I feel like there is always more to things add or something to edit when I first started I was always after the perfection of my writing but then nothing can be perfect, I realized I can't find perfection in everything I'm doing so I decided to be myself and just flow with my feelings, so here I am writing on this platform, doing something I thought I could never do, something I felt like I wasn't smart enough for, which is "writing".

Thanks for reading🌹

I feel you about the negative comments my dear. But darling, when it comes to singing, as long as your mind is telling you that it’s possible then it is. Never doubt it. Start subtle, practice in low keys and gradually climb your way up.

True that anyone can write. We just need to find our writing voice.

Thanks for the positive feedback, if I was getting genuine positive feedback like this, I think I would have become like tems today. All the same, it's never too late.

I'm gonna start from the subtle as you've said and start practicing.

Haha is the "So my singing is a destroyer of peace" for me 😂😂
This is a really funny read.

Well, permit me to motivate you positively... Anyone can sing too, that is if you feel you can, do it!

With writing, I think it gets easier the more you do 😊

Anyone can sing, thank you for the positive feedback, I think I'm gonna give it a try, most times people usually say I have a singing voice but I'd be doubting them. Since you've said anyone can sing I'm gonna try it.

Go ahead dear 😊

Just practice more. You will become perfect

Yeah I'm gonna do that!!
