I can't wait to start playing piano again when I get back for break. I've really been missing it lately. I can play here, but I love playing alone..it really helps relieve stress for me and I can just sit and play for hours.. I came across some Frank Sinatra sheet music when I was in the piano lounge today so I started playing Moon River.. I really can't explain the calm that washes over me when I hear and play piano music. It's something I mostly experience alone so I downplay my enthusiasm for it in front of others and also so that people don't ask me to play.. I get super nervous. But when I play or I'm listening to piano compositions, I just tune everything else out and for that instant I feel like my body finally connects with my mind.. that probably doesn't make any sense, but it's almost spiritual for me. ... It's just that I'm really bad at articulating how I'm feeling with words.. but when I play.. that's where I express my emotions and let everything go..it's like my therapy.
