Timidity

When I was a kid, all I know was playing outside (Be it playground, basketball court, river, etc.) As a mountain kid, my happiness was very shallow. Few years after, I went to grade school. I was being taught to write my name and recognized colors and numbers, etc. Well, that was great! At the age of 8, I learned to play guitar. Not that I was forced to but maybe because I saw my father and brothers playing it everyday. Something that I enjoyed a lot than doing things from school. I grew up with so much good music in our house. Brothers Four was one of them. And then I started to like Janis Joplin, Carole King, James Taylor and a lot more. As a kid, it was good to know good music in earlier time. And I seriously owe it to my father and brothers. And those high school times that I played with my brother's band were just amazing. But then, I was always shy but always amazed my parents and siblings every after playing/singing though. The shyness that I can't even overcome until now. It's still with me.

Then lately, I posted a picture on Facebook (as far as you know it's a social networking site). 

And because of this picture, I was invited to sing for the church event. I wasn't so sure what to sing because of course it's a church. Few days after, this picture had an overwhelming comments. Old and new friends were trying to convince me to show and share my talent. I'm not that good, just letting you know. But then, was still hesitate just because of my shyness again. 

The event was fine and everything was great.

Being timid is not good. It means you don't trust your capability to do such things. I just hope there's a store where I could buy medicine to cure my shyness and boost my confidence. If only...
