Art of war

Seems like a cool book but haven’t peaked my interest yet

I’m currently reading super freakenomics, I didn’t know it existed until I found a copy at my parents house but still haven’t found out who left it there lmao

I was venting yesterday and someone told me that a lot of what I was saying is very similar to what's written about on the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath and so I became interested in that novel

But a lot of people seem to say that it made their depression symptoms worse and some said it made them feel suicidal after reading that so maybe not...

i know nothing of sylvia plath except that she wrote a bunch of depressing shit and then stuck her head in an oven so yeah maybe not the best role model

might still be worth reading tho

Yeah same. But sometimes reading relatable stuff is mentally healthy. I'm betting my fear of death and non-existence probably outweighs anything else

n_u

so yeah i bet a teacher would be ridiculously helpful lol
i could probably get you up to speed tbh. piano is not my main instrument but it's the one i learned on initially and i'm pretty comfortable with it.

Buy this:
https://www.amazon.com/Hanon-Virtuoso-Exercises-Complete-Schirmers/dp/0793525446

And practice those exercises to a metronome, slowly speeding up as you get comfortable with them. Only take on a couple at a time.

And of course all of this can get VERY BORING because it's just exercises, so be sure to try learning simple pieces you like as well!

All of this is probably what you would do in lessons at first.

Okay. I did-it. :emo:

One of these days, I sw#ar to Dood. smithisider;
