Innocent Masuku LIGHTS UP stage with 'Nessun dorma' | The Final | BGT 2024

 

 FRIDAY WRITINGS #130 

scary
the idea of competition
scary
not winning
scary
no one will like your work
scary
you might fail

no need to be scared
talent
real talent cannot be hidden
it shines like a beacon
masuku should have won
he didn't
his talent did not disappear
because he did not win
keep at it
never give up

and remember
not everyone
well no one really
thought the emporer was wearing any clothes
truth will out eventually

  2. Yes, what a magnificent voice, so beautifully used! And indeed 'truth will out eventually' and we should all be brave enough to explore and share whatever gifts we have.

  3. Truth spoken! We just have to continue what we enjoy and are good at and that will shine through eventually. I think everyone has a talent for something
