Thanks WA, I think a lot of times we're our own worst critics which is why we can sometimes feel like failures. Music is very therapuetic to me too. Everyday I've been picking up my ukulele or piano and practicing, and it just feels good, there's not a time where it doesn't help my mood in some way. Today I learned how to play Zelda's Lullaby (from the videogames) on piano, and I felt a great sense of accomplishment at that. I love music, listening to it, learning to play it etc. I think progress takes time but there's no rush and I'm enjoying learning new stuff everyday and practicing. I'm also excited about beginning to learn music theory. I think it will help me become a better musician in the long run, being able to understand it more. I'm glad you have music too and your writing, creative outlets are very important and therapuetic
