I loved this one!! I have been having issues with my arm for the past two weeks and it’s been a shitty time. Your piece was a perfect reminder to keep moving forward! Thank you!!
I feel you, Lessly. It's a monster mental drain to move forward sometimes when you've been to Hell and back. I hope the rest of this week offers respite and recovery for you!!! <3
Forever ago someone said, “A decision you make today will affect you in ten years.” Eyes wide I responded with, “Ooohhhhh, Aaaaaahhhhh!” I’ve seen that reality now, but unfortunately it was my terrible choices that affected me (still) more than ten years later. 😂 Is that face laughing or crying?? I’ve done both! Anyway, here is to a future of prospecting, so that hopefully my brain will work some magic and I will get my life together. Cheers. 🥂
You wear sunglasses with the mystique of a woman who knows great secrets. Your emoji game is strong. And you've got a sense of humour. I think you're on the right path. 🙌
Never learned the piaono although I think my mum would have loved me to do so. So in a whatever attempt of what I still don't know was "my inner child trying to please her or proofing to me", I started piano lessons in my late 20s.
And gave in half a year later. Not because I was not good.
The teacher was really satistfied and surprised. I simply was not feeling it. And I probably already had felt that as a child!
So rather than being frustrated about things from the past, rather look at them as tiny hints and nudges for your true self that might have just got burried underneath all the crazy sh** of this wonderful but sometimes overwhelming and draining things called "life" and "somewhat adulting".
I LOVE that you pursued it as an adult and made the rational and well-thought out choice to hang up the keys. Hopefully you've found a cool new hobby to pursue in the mean time!

Great photo, Porter! :)
Haha, thank you! I was in Tokyo and had a head cold, so that's why I have a tinge of 'Rudolph' about me.
hopeful, hilarious, and relatable- the ultimate writing trifecta.
keep on doing cool shit. (like writing these)
Steve, you're filling me with all sorts of nice feelings and I bloody love you for it.
"Neither is ideal, as I have little disposable income and a wife." made me laugh
Haha, thank you! It's just not the right time in my life to be discovering latent homosexuality. I'll circle back again next year.

Well, I pursued something else instead: following my childhood dream, going back to university and and studied marine science 🐳
Love the work Mr Porter! We can't play Piano but we sure can play a good round of rondo.
Haha, we're practically professionals at rondo!
Yes, yes, and YES.
I can still do anything. . .while I easily hold my chopsticks as I eat Chinese food!
Awww, you can use chopsticks? I'm jealous!!!
There's nothing to it!
There's swimming in your future, Maryam, I can feel it!
