A Musical Inspiration

Lately, I had been feeling like I need a new hobby to pass my days, something that will help me relieve stress and to soothe my overtly active mind. My sister has recently started learning how to play the viola, and I recalled how many, many years ago, back in middle school, I had taken upon violin lessons, but somehow lost motivation along the way, and my passion lasted only a year. My dad is really big on music, and we have a keyboard sitting at home, quite useless and inactive since nobody bothers using it. I decided around midnight one day, that I would try my best to learn how to play it. So I opened up an online tutorial, learned the basic notes - CDEFGAB - labeled them on the keyboard, pulled out piano notations of a song I love, and started playing. Of course, its not I can read music or anything, or that I know what staying in tune or keeping up with the beat means, but what the heck, I have a new hobby now. I truly love music, its inspirational, poetic, and soulful. I crave music so many times during the day, and well, even not knowing how to play, yet still trying to play, makes me kind of happy inside. Of course, that feeling soon turns to guilt, when I realize I've spent all day in front of the keyboard and ignored Organic Chemistry, which haunts me day and night.
