note to self: it's about the music.

i've allowed myself to get so
obsessed
and
distracted
that every note has a new meaning
and every new tempo means a change in heartbeat.
i need to remind myself
the next time that i play:
it's about the music.
it's about the notes, the rhythms,
the harmony, the beauty,
the contrast, the crescendos.
it's not about who's watching,
or who i'll impress,
or who will love me for this
and who won't.
it's not about wishing i was better
or wishing this would earn me something.
it's about the music.
and i won't let anything (or anyone) change that.
I am currently Reflective
I am listening to yo-yo ma
