What is "hiding" inside you? A child that never grew up, a talent/skill waiting to burst out? An unfulfilled dream?

Motivation and a desire to work so I can make some monies!

@Blackberry I hope you have double and triple of it to lead you to some good money-making!

Secretly, I harbour a star of stage and screen with a beautiful singing voice. Nah… I am much too shy and easily embarrassed. blushes

@cazzie you should force yourself to enter a talent contest, you never know!

I would like to develop my drawing and painting skills….and play better at piano. Anything else I wanted to do I have already done and WAYYYY to impatient to keep anything “hiding” in me!

Do you really want to know?

@Simone_De_Beauvoir Pray do tell us….. how deeply hidden can it be?

It’s not that it’s deeply hidden. It’s just that nobody really wants to hear it, perhaps. I don’t know. It’s not a child, something dark, I think. If frustration and intense emotion/compassion + hatred towards people at the same time can be called something dark. It’s certainly not unique to just me.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir oh yes, you are right, it is definitely not just unique to you!

The thing hiding inside of me is a child who desperately wants his parents’ approval, but I’m not perfect and thus will never attain it. I’m in my late 40s, and I only recently realized this.

@hawaii_jake I truly believe that deep inside they approve even if they seem to show the opposite or don’t want to admit it. I’m sure you have it and maybe later on in life they will tell you so.

@ZEPHYRA : My parents are in their 80s. I’m gay, which they hate. I will never have their approval.

Shrug. That’s their problem.

An artist.
Painter/actor/singer.

Untapped potential. Although it shows itself in a variety of ways I feel that I could be much more focused.

@Simone_De_Beauvoir Is it gas?

An actor!

What a wonderful and inspiring question. So thought provoking!

I discovered some artistic talent that I expressed through stone and wood carving until April 4, 2004, the day I became disabled in a car crash.

I will have to search inside me for something else.

Rage. Sometimes it bursts out a bit and people around me can see it.

The person most people in public and at work don’t see.

Q: What is “hiding” inside you? A child that never grew up, a talent/skill waiting to burst out? An unfulfilled dream?

A: You left out small baggies of heroin. For me, however, it would be the eternal child.

A performer. I love singing, dancing, acting, being crazy, making people laugh, but I’m not good enough at any of those things to actually show people outside of my close friends and family.

I have a talent that will never be used to it’s potential due to my overwhelming stage fright.

Someone who wants to travel and live on the edge, but is stuck in a wussy envelope that just goes down spiral in a mediocre routine.
She might shut up if I drown her with enough beer.
