What age?!! nothing to do with age, color, or size… well the size is a polemic subject if you are very slim and you want to learn how to sumo wrestling, I wish I can use emojis right now, that one with the rolling eyes. Ugh! see? I’m always thinking and doing 2 or 5 things at the same time (annoyed emoji here)
The thing is that I am learning to play guitar, I always wanted to. Sadly, my parents were always working that they didn’t notice my profound love for arts, specifically for music. At least I could sing and carry my own voice instrument everywhere I go. But as soon as I could (2 months ago) turning 40, I promised to myself that I wont die without playing at least 1 song. For myself.
And luckily for you all, you won’t listen to my persistent guitar strumming making my left hand fingers get peeled and hardened by the metal strings. Yes, we have to learn whatever we can, from scratch. It hurts and bleed, it feels like you fail everytime you try, it doesn’t look like the master piece, you want to quit more than twice.
Just as life, correct? Just as each new thing we’ve started. A new boyfriend, a new class, a baby in your belly, the new job, the divorce, someone loved dying, changes in your body, etc. all of these hurts, peel and bleed.
I gotta go now. I need to practice, because I’ve learned 25 songs. I’m not a pro, it’ll take time, but my fingers don’t hurt anymore.
