I didn't go to choir today. I really don't like that fact. We only have another week and a half before the Advent concert, but my sore throat turned into a full sinus infection, making my voice sound like Batman's. Normally, I would like that sort of transformation, but not at the cost of being able to sing.
Singing has been a joy in my life for a long time. Even before I received any training and when I was overly self-conscious about my voice, I loved singing. Because I was afraid of being made fun of, I often only sang when I thought people couldn't hear me, like when no one else was home or while I was using the lawnmower. Once I discovered that other people like the way my voice sounds, I was able to sing much more freely (and often do).
At the moment I can't sustain a pitch and it is driving me crazy. There's a lock on my voice. I would normally be singing right now and I physically cannot do it. I know my voice will come back (hopefully soon), but it scares me how easily it can be taken away.
