Trying to commit to it. I have forgotten how good is to focus on something rewarding.

    Not OP, but art (and music in a similar way) are things that are easy to sideline for general life stuff. You get involved in your career, have kids, maybe your parents or other family members need more of your free time. Its hard as fuck to make time for something that’s not critical at certain stages of life

        I ignore my instruments for weeks, months, even years but always keep them because they cycle back around like all my other hobbies.

        Edit: go get you a cheap guitar from a pawn shop and set it in the corner of a room you spend time in. You will play it again at some point.

          It hangs above my desk and I still can’t manage to find time.

            I get it. Sometimes we just have to wait until the time finds us. Sometimes you just gotta get it down, strum a couple of chords and put it back.
