So I'd auditioned for this talent-competition-thing in school
Did the (all hail the almighty mainstream boring predicted simple casual) cup song- it's special to me. (I haven't actually watched Pitch Perfect though.. haha)
Never was I capable of learning the cup sequence, nor could I do it whilst singing.. let alone do it all together whilst grasping the right rhythm.
For the sake of the audition I wanted to challenge myself,
And sure enough in three days it was a new skill learnt.
Granted, I didn't get through to the semi finals
It isn't that amazing a feat, nor am I that talented a singer
But the fact remains that I love singing
And I will continue to do so in my very own karaoke box that is the bathroom during showers.
I now have a party trick that I probably will never show
It'll probably be uploaded on youtube or something
Performed in the school canteen if I'm chosen
Done in front of my family and gotten the applause that truly matters
And just, altogether, a great experience regardless.
This is reminiscent of the time you learnt amateur magic tricks for your very first character-- a magician. Back then your acting skills were pretty horrifyingly flat (perhaps it still is now who knows hahah), but learning the tricks transcended some boundaries of your own, and it taught you things.
I suppose,
You really can do anything you set your heart to-
Results is another thing altogether-
You just need to try things out- new things, things you don't ever want to regret not doing---and prove to yourself that you can do stuff.
