Samsung messages is perhaps the worst software I’ve ever encountered, so fuck Google, but its at least a lateral step lol

Indeed! Obsession is really the best description of it. Sarah Bareilles is an absolutely fantastic vocalist and pianist. Ive heard her talk about how she was the kid who never went outside to play with anyone because she was locking herself in her room playing and singing. Ya just gotta do the damn thing and do it a whole lot lol

And keep chasing that feeling! It’s worth it to push through the tedium and frustration to achieve it. And the plateaus are real and are many lol but dont let that be a punishment. One of the best things about instruments and music in general is you are never finished. You always get to keep working at it. What a lucky and happy task to be tasked with.

The truth about mastering an instrument that no one wants to talk about is you need discipline. Motivation is unreliable and fleeting. You have to play whether you feel like it or not. It’s also tedious. People think musicians just have it. Nope. They spend thousands of hours of repetition. It’s not always fun. If you need it to be fun, you won’t progress much. Another component, the better you get, the harder it is to improve. And the better you get, the longer it takes to improve. Ive taught music professionally my whole adult life. There is a myth of talent. Yes, some people are more naturally inclined than others. But often those are the hardest students to teach and they often improve the least. My students who soar are the ones who put their head down and do the work whether its fun or not.

Smile and look around at all the people who want to celebrate you, and muse on how fortunate you are to have them in your life.

I think this quote applies to literally everyone: “The house I live in matters more than the code I ship.”

Replace “code I ship” with “reel I post” or, even more broad, “job i have.” Really anything. It’s a lesson needed in every industry or hobby. Recent trends with “maxing” everything or hustle culture and all that goes with these ideas are so unhealthy. We need rest. We need boredom. We need stasis.

Thanks for sharing, this is a great piece.

You realize the votes are meaningless, correct? It’s ok to get downvoted, the internet is not real life. This is an opportunity to stop taking yourself and the internet so seriously.
