Is there something that you really miss doing?

I know this may sound unbelievable, but I haven’t played the piano for many, many years. It’s really hard to believe and even harder to admit it to myself. I used to play the piano every day after school when I was a child, as I was alone most of the time. The piano became my best friend every afternoon. I would channel all my emotions into my piano playing, searching for piano pieces that resonated with what I was feeling. I would play one piece after another, flipping from page to page, until all my emotions were fully expressed. When I became a teenager, the piano was moved to my mother’s daycare center. I started to struggle emotionally without my piano.

Without my piano, where would all these emotions go? As I grew older, I got a keyboard. I used this keyboard to record all my songwriting demos. I would bring it with me everywhere I went, because I was constantly moving from place to place. Still, nothing gave me the same feeling of comfort playing a wooden acoustic piano. I hope to have my own little wooden acoustic piano one day and I’m really looking forward to playing the piano again (when that time comes). I really miss it.
