28: Music and Lyrics

Meet Jeremy and his violin

It may be hard to believe, but I had been part of band and I played the drums. I also played the bamboo flute, lyre, harmonica, piano and guitar before. But it never came to a point that I excelled playing a music instrument; I knew the basics, and that was it. A jack of all trades, a master of none.

Still, I've always dreamed of playing in front of a big crowd inside an auditorium or at a park. My parents bought me a flute as a reward for winning a contest back in high school, and I thought that that was my ticket to the realization of my dream. But then years came and passed, and I never really got to learn how to play it. Learning the proper way to blow air into the mouthpiece was already hard, what more the many complicated finger presses. I even thought of just selling my flute to have some extra cash for my med school needs, but when I told my mom about it, I received a scolding. She told me that I should never sell it and should learn to play it someday.

I really hope I do learn. When I'll have the time, energy or determination, I don't know. But who knows, my musician dreams might still come true. Somehow. Someday.
