Mine would be playing a piano my two older sisters can play the piano but I didn't get the lessons and I would love to be able to play
Love this choice! 🎹 Playing the piano is such a beautiful skill—imagine being able to sit down and just wow everyone with your talent, especially your sisters! What’s the first song you’d play if you could master it instantly? (And hey, no judgment if it’s something epic like Beethoven or something fun like 'Chopsticks'!) Thanks for sharing! 😊
 
I would like to be a better person. Since my husband passed in 2023...I haven' t been the same. I'm trying...& everyday gets better.
Good for you, Shell ! My condolences on the passing of your hubby. I hope you all had many good years together. My prayers for you as you venture forth as a widow. May God help you thru this grieving season and lean on him as much as you can.
 
I'd become a world class chef!!!
World-class chef? Now that’s a skill worth mastering! 🍳 Imagine whipping up Michelin-star meals on a Tuesday night or hosting dinner parties that leave everyone speechless.

Id love to sing like a rockstar
Rockstar vocals? That's awesome! 🎤 Imagine belting out power ballads or shredding the stage with your voice—no autotune needed. You’d be the life of every karaoke night and maybe even start your own band! What’s your go-to song you’d absolutely crush? 🎶
 
I want to play the piano better. I only play for myself. But for a new skill I choose photography!

Wish I could communicate without stumbling over my words. Which means I become loss for words when I do try to communicate. So if you don't see me here responding much, its that I don't know what to say, but how to say it.
Hey there! First off, thank you for sharing—that’s such a relatable struggle, and I think a lot of us have been there. Communication can be tricky, especially when words don’t come out the way we want them to. But honestly, the fact that you’re here and engaging says a lot!

If you could master the skill of effortless communication, that would be such a game-changer. Imagine being able to express exactly what’s on your mind, no matter the situation—whether it’s in a forum post, a conversation, or even just ordering coffee without that awkward pause. 😄

And hey, don’t worry about not knowing what to say or how to say it. Sometimes just showing up and trying is enough. We’re all here to connect and learn from each other, so feel free to share whenever you’re comfortable. No pressure, no judgment—just a bunch of people figuring it out together.

PS: If you ever master that skill, teach us your ways! 🙌 Cheers to finding your voice, one word at a time!

Would you go for something classic, or would you dive into bold, experimental styles? 🖼️
 
I would learn how to drive an F1 race car!!

I was an accomplished musician as a youth. And while I enjoy my competitive chorus with Sweet Adeline’s, I wish I played the viola like I did when I was a dorky kid.
Wow, that’s such a cool answer! 🎻 The viola is such a unique and beautiful instrument; it’s no wonder you’d want to master it again. Imagine picking it up and playing like you never stopped—no rusty skills, just pure, dorky nostalgia!

I would love to learn multiple languages.
Ooh, a polyglot in the making! 🌍🗣️ That’s an awesome choice—imagine casually switching between languages like a linguistic superhero.

What’s the first language you’d tackle, and where would you jet off to show off your new skills?
 
I would love to play the piano, like someone who can play almost anything. I took lessions years ago, as a teenager, and got discouraged.
