Truth Challenge: Day 12

Day 12: Something you never get compliments on.

There are loads of things that I never get complimented on. I could start a list and it would go on forever. I’m far from perfect and I have a limited set of skills and talents. One thing that I never get complimented on is my voice. I can carry a tune but that’s about it. I mouth the words to songs if there’s anyone else around, and sing to my heart’s content if I’m alone in the car or house.

It’s a good thing my dreams aren’t dependent on having a good voice, or something like that. Wouldn’t it be awful if I really wanted to be a singer, went on American Idol and was told to get off the stage because I was embarrassing myself? I feel so bad for some of those people. If I went on Idol, I’d be on the show as a joke. You know those people who are jokes? The ones who can’t sing but think they can? I would hate to be someone like that, someone who can’t see that maybe they need to find a new dream.

I don’t get complimented on my balance. I tend to trip over my own feet. Funny, I learned to dance when I was three. Put me on stage to dance and I’m actually very graceful. I know this from tapes I’ve watched and other people complimenting me. But anywhere else I go I’m a bit clumsy. Go figure.
