2.25 Years, Moving Forward

[labug]

I grew up in a hypercritical environment. Nothing I did was good enough, most things other people did weren't that good either, and everyone should be embarassed and feel inferior. (I know my parents would think I'm insane to say that, but it was my perception.) To this day in their retirement home, they make fun of the people who like to get together and sing, and say they shouldn't do that, because they can't carry a tune. I said "then they should sing louder" and my dad shook his head. I said what a sad thing it would be if only people who "could" sing could sing. They think I'm nuts.

Sounds very familiar to me.

I love it when anyone will get up and sing from their heart and soul.
