Re-Snap: Sing Out.
. . . A Re-Issue from The SnapDragon Archives: Originally Posted in March of 2019 . . . I love to sing. So, so much. Yet I was extremely bashful about doing so for the first–oh–seventeen years of my life or so. I still get self-conscious if I know people are listening; if I’m put…
