So in a discussion about how to succesfully play the piano i realized that I had given myself the advice I have been looking for.
Kind of.
See, in piano, it is very hard to coordinate the two hands together. This is basically achieved by practicing and practicing so hard that you know each hand by memory. And then, you have to learn to let go. It's hard because it goes against every ounce of perfectionism that leads us to practice in the first place. But, you are the one that practiced. And you have to be able to trust yourself enough to let go and let the practicing speak for itself.
I always look for the answer. The answer for this the answer for that. What will i do after graduation? What will college be like? Even more vague questions that I can't seem to face. But, i think the answer is really simple. I just need to let go. I've been praciticing my entire life for all of this. I should be able to let go and trust my life to go ahead. And I think I will.
But how do you know if you've had enough practice? What if you haven't had any practice at all? What then? Well then you crash and burn. Actually I do. And thats just no good at all.
