(no subject)
Stopped by Samash after school today...an exhausting day of school...
I met up with my old guitar teacher for a little
it's been about eight years since I first took lessons with him.
It's hard for me to describe how excited and honored i am to be able to take lessons with him again. it's kind of funny, he remembered me, and I feel like perhaps i was meant to return to his teachings. i feel like i'm going to finally improve at a larger rate.
i've noticed here and there, comments about talent, how talented i am, and stuff like that. I'm pretty awkward with comments because maybe I'm too humble .... (catch the irony?)... i just dont succumb to being content with my current state. i'm never "ok", and i can always get better.
but people sometimes tell me im talented like i was talented from the start, or that i dont need to try.
but the bottom line is that talent comes with WORK
i feel like a lot of times when people use the word talented, they forget that its not just talent, its DEDICATION.
i could be talented at drawing, or at music,
but i do it very often.
its called DEDICATION
i prefer that over TALENTED.
anyways, im beginning to understand the way of balance in life... in the areas that we excel, it makes up for some areas that we lack in.... i feel like i'm a shy person when it comes to the opposite sex. i think im a people type of a person, but ive got to face it, my activity with girls has been extremely minimal... what is wrong with me? i think its insecurity...the fear of awkwardness.
man...and its so easy to come up with excuses. my main one recently has been "waiting for the right moment or the right person"
