I’ve always wanted to be a beautiful singer. I can sing; I just don’t do it well. It’s always been a dream of mine to have the confidence to stand up in front of people and belt out something beautiful…

I want to sing this:

(Here You Come Again – Dolly Parton)

And this:

(I Won’t Say I’m in Love – Hercules)

And this, even though it’s a duet:

(Light My Candle – RENT)

And if my life was a musical? This would so happen:

(La Vie Boheme – RENT [my absolute favourite musical, by the way])

And now I throw it open to you…

Do you have any secret desires? Something you want to do but are afraid to?

Please don’t tell me I’m the only one who has one… Dancing? Singing like me? Or maybe painting? Featuring your work – whatever it may be – in a gallery or at a fair?

What do you dream of?
