A Childhood Dream It seems as if it was yesterday‚ I was at home standing on my couch with a fake microphone in my hand. I would sing‚ or rather yell‚ to the lyrics of “Thriller” by heart with no intention of stopping. Yet today‚ although singing is undoubtedly not my forte‚ I still find the happiness and sense of freedom I felt on that couch with the microphone in my hand.
