So a months ago I was talking with some friends (who I will not name out of respect for privacy) and the topic of music came up. Two people were learning instruments and they managed to get me into the kind of music they liked. So someone made a joke (I assume it was a joke at first) about starting a band. And as time passed I asked that person

"You're not serious lol"

And said person said back to me
"Why not?"

And from there things started getting a little serious. Me and the three other people agreed that I would buy a guitar (a certain guitarist caught my eye which is why I chose the instrument) and everyone would practice so that one day, we could all get together and form a band. It was a really exciting thought honestly. I never saw myself getting involved with music but after that I couldn't get the thought out of my head. 24/7 I had my earphones in blasting some song.

For six very long months, I saved up my money to buy an awesome blue guitar I had my eyes on. When the time came to order it, I was of course, disappointed, but it wasn't the end of the world even though I felt that way at the time. I ended up buying one from a sub brand of the company.

Then comes the sad part. After certain events, someone left, never to be heard from again, which killed the plans and eventually blew a large hole into my interest for guitar. For months it sat there in the closet, nothing but a painful memory of what happened, and a reminder of what could have been, but wasn't. I couldn't find my will to pick it up to learn. It sounded so...boring, which was funny because over those six months I was begging for any opportunity to make even five bucks.

But now, months after the incident that caused the person to leave (which I honestly haven't let go) I decided that it's the right time to pull my friend out of the closet. Listening to music inspired me to grab my guitar today and start learning again. While the plans of almost a year ago aren't possible anymore, I wanna play at least for myself. I wanna give myself another escape from this...cruel reality when it gets to be too much.

So while my guitar might further remind me of some hard times, I know that I can't let it stop me from learning.

So anyways, here's the instrument that I honestly love looking at. It's not even in the color I originally wanted, but hey, it matches the nickname that's stuck with me for so many years on here.

I know it's freaking gorgeous

Also someone give me an easy song to learn that's not "happy birthday"
