Pouring Rain and Distant Planets..

I know I'm not exactly the best piano player out there.. I tend to get discouraged sometimes when I see/hear other people play. I can't help but wonder if I've accomplished much over the past years I've been playing.

But I really do love playing the piano...especially the feeling that comes when the notes flow and I'm not stumbling over myself trying to read/play the next note. Sometimes I like to imagine I'm playing for someone else.. or that I'm telling a story through music.. Hehe, sounds a little weird when I think about it like that.

I guess if I were to explain it, playing music is my way of escape. By playing a specific melody, it would be as if I were taking a walk in the woods... or if I were sitting by a window and listening to the pouring rain.. Sometimes I even feel as if I were far away on a distant planet and staring into the stars.. Music can have that effect on me. It sounds corny and all that... but yes... this is probably one of the things in my life that helps me keep dreaming... like the way I used to.

I've just noticed that my creative writing skills have gotten really worse over the past years. Ask me to write a research paper though, and I'll write up a storm.

Maybe it's time to clean up this journal a little bit... and along with that, a few other things in my life that I've been somewhat neglecting.
