I feel like people think I am trash and I'm automatically out in their subconscious because I didn't start violin early enough.
That they focused on one thing comfortably makes them feel elevated personality-wise over others.
That doesn't sound very American.
Think of how much it crushes me. It's like a poor black boy in Africa growing up wanting to win a beauty pageant.
I did wanna play flute. I can feel some faint memory of interest in violin stifled and never seeing it performed especially interestingly.
I wanted to sing 1st, so I moved on there. I did know what a piano was, too.
