Embracing Gratitude for Finding Confidence on the Karaoke Stage
A Gratitude Journal Entry
Dear Duniyawaalo (People of the World),
Today on this awesome spring morning as I am humming a song, I am grateful for being able to pursue my hobby of karaoke singing that brings joy and fulfillment to my life. Standing in front of a diverse crowd with a mic in my hand and a song in my heart, is an experience like no other.
Singing is such a beautiful form of expression that has the power to bring joy, comfort and inspiration not only to the singer, but also to the audience listening as well. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities to share my voice through karaoke events with my Chicago Bollywood Karaoke group. We have collectively created an environment of acceptance and celebration where everyone feels welcome to express themselves freely.
Karaoke events gave me a platform to express myself creatively and connect with like-minded individuals who share the same love for music. It is also a safe place where I can let go of inhibitions, embrace my authentic self, and showcase my passion for singing. It has allowed me to experiment with different styles and genres of music and expand my repertoire of songs. Each karaoke session presents an opportunity for growth as I continue to push by boundaries and embrace new songs and styles.
While I may not possess the skills of a professional singer, I find pure joy and satisfaction in sharing my voice with others. Knowing that people enjoy my singing and look forward to hearing me perform is a source of motivation and inspiration for me. I am also grateful for the positive feedback that I have received from others.
Engaging in karaoke has taught me valuable lessons about vulnerability and self-expression. It has served as a reminder that it’s not about perfection but rather about the pure enjoyment of music and the connection it fosters among individuals.
I am eternally grateful that, with my hobby of karaoke, I have been able to form lasting friendships with fellow music enthusiasts, creating a sense of community and shared experiences.
