Play me a song


I bought a guitar, and several years later I have not learned to play it. I made a promise to myself that I was going to practice a little bit every day so that it wouldn't be a waste of money. For a couple of months I did practice, and I began to develop calluses and all of the types of things that happen to you when you begin to play the guitar. However I tend to give up on things quickly when I don't improve as much as I think I should.

So it's been about a year since I've even touched my guitar. It even has dust on the top of it. I really want to get back to playing, but I find it tough to find motivation by myself. It doesn't help that I have really small hands, which makes several chords physically impossible for me to play at all. It's really depressing.

I think that I have way too many hobbies. I have the desire to learn about every single thing in the world. I have a complete lack of focus which means I am only mediocre at many things. I think the term for that is jack of all trades, master of none. It's one of the few expressions where I truly understand the meaning.

I think I should pick up the guitar again. It would be great if I could at least learn a song on it this year. The guitar is really lovely and it would be sad to not use it.
