It is a beautiful-yet-heart-wrenching song.<br /><br />And...as I was singing along, thoughts were flitting through my mind about how, when I was high school, I refused to try out for choir at the girl's school that I attended...even though it was mandatory. I came up with one heck of an excuse to get out of it.<br /><br />And why? For some reason, it just now dawned on me why I've gone to such efforts my whole life to avoid certain things....but the older I've gotten, the more I have gone OUT OF MY WAY to tear down those barriers.<br /><br />Being ridiculed and bullied changes a child. It truly wrecks their self-esteem. It destroyed mine. I still have very little self-esteem.<br /><br />Singing karaoke....it doesn't matter to me if I'm a good singer or not.
