This is why I am determined to become a musician

I feel sorry for musicians everywhere. From here until whenever I decide I am bored, I will be trying to learn various instruments. And it will not be pretty.  

I took piano for a number of years from 4th grade until sometime in middle school when I decided to quit because it conflicted with cheerleading too much. Stupidest decision of my life. I can still read sheet music but it takes me forever. I couldn’t remember how to do a basic chord on the piano. So lately I have been watching YouTube tutorials on how to play stuff. I don’t even remember how to properly annotate things either, so this is an example of my crappy way to remember how to play:

I also have learned like three chords on guitar. So I’m on my way! I know guitar and piano are two different things, but I’m hoping if I can get better at piano, then my wonder musician brother will teach me guitar. And then I can be that person with a guitar that annoys everyone.

Every person I’ve ever spoken to has or has wished to play an instrument at some point. Guys that I talk with want to learn because they want to attract a hottie. They are usually lying if they say any other reason. Girls want to learn to look cool and sexay. Of course there are other reasons, but those are the main two. 

I don’t really know why I want to learn. Maybe because my whole family (minus my mom, who tries so very hard to sing) is musical. Or maybe I’m just being super secretive because I don’t want to say what my reason is. So you can assume it’s because I want to be “that girl” that plays music. Or whatever you want to assume.

I was trying so hard earlier to get this song down that now it hurts to type because my pinky is out of shape and sore. So I can’t really type anything else. So… go brighten your mind and learn an instrument. It’s good for you. And if you know how to play, come teach me so I don’t hurt myself.
