Hi
So, I had this fight with one of my best friends. It wasn't really a huge fight, sort of like this really cold telephone call that lasted only 15 minutes(yes, only, because our record lowest when we start talking is like, 25). And I got so angry, that I decided the only thing I can do is to go and play something to take my mind off of it all. and I started playing and playing and playing, and I couldn't stop or take a break or anything, as I usually do when I practice. And I looked up at the clock and it was 9:30. I started at 6:30, and I couldn't believe that time had passed so quickly. And I couldn't go on, because the neighbors would well,.... And I wanted to say, that we should all be thankfull that we can turn to music to empty out our feelings, whether we're sad, or angry, or happy, or whatever. And I think that there is no better friend for us in the world, that listens better and consoles us than our instruments, especially the violin.
