Writing Territories

Fears-ending up a failure.

Annoyances-people who just follow what their friends do. 

Accomplishments- Good grades

Confusions-my mother

Sorrows-losing a friend.

Dreams-becoming a CNN news Anchor

Idiosyncrasies-my love hate relationship with the piano.

Risks-sneaking downstairs at midnight to cuddle with my dog. 

Beloved Possessions, Now and Then-My tumblr (now) and my giant PSAT textbook (then) *i wish i was kidding about this

Problems-being too hard on myself. 

I decided to talk about my idiosyncrasy: my love-hate relationship with the piano. On one end of it, I absolutely abhor the piano. I hate everything about it. I hate how every time i walk down the stairs, it's sitting there staring at me. I hate how I was forced into it when my 4 year old self dreamed of playing the saxophone because it looked cool. I hate how competitions and recitals take up too much time. I hate how I have to constantly practice on days where I have other priorities. 

But on the other hand, I love everything about it. I love the physical form of the piano. I love how I can sit down at one and play anything I want. I love how I can sight-read pieces I've never seen before with ease. I love how I can play songs like "A Thousand Miles" or "100 Years" and sing along. I love how I can be a dork and "express" myself through dramatic Beethoven movements. I love how it is something I am accomplished at. I love how it brought me to the Governors School for the Arts last summer where I gained unbelievable experiences. So yeah, it kind of makes sense that i both love and hate the piano.
