Thanks guys!
Thanks everyone who responded to the last post... I just didn't feel like individually responding to each of you but, as you can understand, I appreciate everyone around me about 2 million times more now.
I also decided to not openly mourn because then people see you and then everyone knows about it and you can't go anywhere without being reminded of the death(s). Instead, I'd rather go around and continue with life. Yes, it's disrespectful to not acknowledge death(s) but at the same time, life's too short to a) stop for a few days (it's like 3 days or something for widows, right?) and b) not enjoy everything you do. Like playing the violin; take a breath before every big move you make but don't lose time over it. Things will take care of themselves if you just remember to give meaning to everything you do, and don't leave anything for another day: Turn the page and tackle another section of a peice.
Haha actually I just don't really have time to practice hard-core and then burn-out. Gotta practice to sustain. All about the perseverance now and challenging myself to take the time to perfect something, and then turn the page so I don't leave it for another day. It's the weirdest thing; breath, relax, think about why you're making the music and it all comes together.
