Ouïe et non
I have a confession to make; it’s like telling someone you’re ill, an admission of weakness. I’m afraid of singing now. When I was littler, I had ringing problems in my ears sometimes, and in the last year, it’s been coming back somewhat. I simply can’t hear when I’m in tune anymore, so I’ve been steadily losing confidence. The last year of choir has been increasingly embarrassing, as I’ve become more and more out and unsure, and I just wanted to make a clean break: I’m not singing in public anymore because I’m too worried I won’t hit the note.
