Adolescence is such a trying time.Besides going through all these hormonal bodily changes,you have to struggle with acceptance and getting onto the social peer high ground.It is a messy pile of nonsense.
One of the most important things in adolescence though is the need to discover yourself,the need to find out who you are from within,nurture this inner self and make use of it when you finally officially crossover into the pains of adulthood.It is a period where you in most cases have to determine the architect design of your future. If this is passed without discovering that inner self,chances are you might get fixated,have a mid-life crisis or miserably die trying. These niches could be sport,music,people skills,money making or any newly unearthed talent strong enough to create that sense of uniqueness.
Am glad I think I found mine.Not to say that I have just discovered it (cause I believe am way passed adolescence),it now just clearly occurs to me that I successfully managed to discover myself,that I didn’t sail through high school agony wastefully.
Yes,everytime I sit infront of black and white keys,I feel myself raised and full of power,I feel like I can say everything I never said and still can’t say in words in just 12 Keys,I feel a sudden rush of blood and joy and find it hard to contain it… I Love my Piano…
I still have a long way to go and that’s what drives me,I am what Brian Carlbertsen or Arlington Jones would call ‘amateur’ cause I’m yet to touch my 10,000hours. Infact I aint even done with the 1st hour. 10,000hours stand between me and prodigy and I ought to start already. 10,000hours of intense practice and dedication,atleast that’s what we are told. It takes time to be good at what you do and it is so damn hard to make it work,most times you fail and barely fight the urge to drop it and move away,but a wise man once said; it is a blessing to have a rough start!
So as I sit down at this piano tonight on this cold june night,I have a big white smile on my face cause I know my 10,000 start with one black and one white key…
