It just wasn’t for me

I have a great interest in playing the piano. I love its sound and how it makes me concentrate into every single movement of my fingers. Somehow it apparently still isn’t for me. I have started playing the piano for two times, both lasting a year or so after I dropped. I seem to make it too big of a deal. I get stressed when I haven’t got enough time to practise and then eventually the whole thing “burns me out”. Too much perfectionism I guess. Now it’s been again a few years without this hobby and I feel like starting to take piano classes again… My most recent teacher was great and lived just around the corner, so it was very easy to go there once a week. One reason why I quit was that I didn’t have a proper piano. It just isn’t the same playing an electric one! I think I will always be into this hobby and some day I know I will start all over again. And then drop. And then start again.

It just wasn’t for me
I started playing volleyball when I was really young. I’ve played volleyball for over eight years now. I wanted to start it because I knew that my father played volleyball sometimes. First, my parents were against it, but after a few years, they wouldn’t let me quit playing it. I will still play volleyball, but not in the Finnish National league anymore, because it’s too stressful. I will be coaching my little brother with my father. Volleyball is a big part of my family’s life. I quit playing volleyball this year, because I can’t play in my own team, and I’m too old to play in the South-Western Finland’s team anymore. I now have a lot more time for everything and I can do whatever I want, whenever I want. I was thinking about mixed martial arts, but I’m still too young. I’ve always wanted be strong and powerful and now, that I have more freedom, I am able to fulfill my dreams.
