my dad's been learning 2 play it over the last couple of months and it is simply incredible. recently he’s added a foot tambourine 2 the mix as well.. our jam sessions r ridiculous. but 4 real tho what a wonderful instrument. u can do so much w it.. so easy to make it sound Complete just on its own, if that makes sense. right now i can hear him practicing 50 ways to leave ur lover!!!!!! excellent

im not very good at playing the drums but maybe like once every 3 months ill get behind a kit and surprise myself with not only how okay i am at it but how fun it is. a seriously fun instrument and its cool to hit things and you look cool doing it if thats important to you

Ok so I’m dogshit at playing bass but it makes me feel like a toddler who’s recently discovered that piano keys make noise and I like having that sort of childish wonder abt making music again

if you can ever get your hands on one like in a music shop or at a friend’s house they’re SO much fun to play

romanticise ur blunders & ur missteps, bc that is just part of being a creature. if u saw a duckling fall flat on its face and scramble 2 its feet u wouldn't judge the freakin duckling, u would think it was the cutest thing ever. because it is. we r just organisms in big ungainly bodies, and that is part of our charm. tripping over ur own feet is maybe the most adorable thing u can do. like awwhh u tripped on the pavement </333
this extends 2 social interactions 2. messaging exes that u miss them, making a joke that doesn't land, mishearing/not knowing/forgetting something, etc??!!?! SO SWEET. genuinely such wonderful & important & adorable things 2 do.
i think this is maybe the best thing i've ever managed 2 train my brain 2 do. it isn't foolproof but it makes life a lot gentler.

just about everything that happens to you will be interesting to your future self/your descendants/archaeologists. immortalise your to do lists, shopping lists, packing lists, things that loved ones say, things that strangers say, the phrases you hear that would make a good band name. brainstorm what to do on the weekend, list your cravings, the songs stuck in your head, transcribe birdsong, etc. i track my periods & my finances in my journal. sometimes if i really want to take a photo of something i'll restrain myself and draw it in my journal instead. sometimes i take notes for uni in there, or draft sewing patterns, or sketch when im bored. journals are self-portraits!!!!!!!
