What talent would you most love to have?

I’m lucky that I’m good enough at something I enjoy to make a living out of it. I have hobbies that I’m good at, if not expert level. But the one talent I would love to have more than anything is a really good singing voice. I love singing - but while I’m okay at it (fine for karaoke night or a singalong musical), I know I can never be really, really good. It’s the one thing I would change about myself above anything else.

What would be your dream talent?

Languages, my Spanish is very good, French getting better as is my Dutch and Portuguese. But I’m not fluent in any and I’d love to be.

My European dh otoh is completely fluent in 4 languages and he doesn’t even appreciate it 🤷‍♀️

Takingabreakagain · 10/08/2022 21:28

I would also love to be able to sing - not even to any great standard just in tune would do me. I'm so bad I wasn't even allowed to join the choir in primary school!

lisavanderpumpscloset · 10/08/2022 21:29

I'd love to be able to do something creative or artistic, like draw or sing. I'm not creative at all, I don't have that sort of vision and I so wish I did!

I honestly wish I was like Frankie from Grace and Frankie 😂

sproutsandparsnips · 10/08/2022 22:34

Wish I'd kept up the violin and been good at it. Wish I'd kept up singing and been good at it........

To be able to lose weight.

StandingUpToday · 10/08/2022 22:48

Definitely singing because it's an instrument you can take absolutely anywhere and for me, seems to come from the soul more than say playing the guitar or whatever. Good singers always seem beautiful to me.

Definitelysometime · 10/08/2022 23:07

If love to be someone who hardly needs any sleep. I could get so much more done if I wasn't so tired / in bed nine hours a night Blush

Oh yes, totally agree with you on this one. I wish I’d taken piano lessons when I was young.

Me too! I've never so much as painted a wall, but wish I was a talented diy whizz and do up my place.
