I seem to have a problem.
Ever since I was a wee little boy, I loved art, whether it be writing, music, or drawings. These things are all my hobbies now, and they provide me with great satisfaction. However, also since I was young, I was absolutely mortified when my parents would find some of my creations. The happy look on their faces, that surprised, joyous look at my work made me want to cry out of embarassment. It still continues to this day.
So far, I have been rather successful in hiding my work from my parents, especially my music compositions. Unfortunately, while I was having some of my friends at school listening to it (which I have absolutely no problem with), one of the media/tech administratiors heard it. Long story short, I now have around 20+ pieces currently broadcasting over the air on the local county-wide station.
This is quite upsetting. While I'm absolutely ecstatic that I've gotten a 'break', I'm also a nervous wreck. Now my parents will, without a doubt, hear my music.
Do any of you feel this way around your parents? Are you terrified to let them know you've accomplished something?
Or am I just nuts?
