In my younger years, when I am feeling a bit down, playing the piano was my therapy. When I finish a piece, it gives me comfort and calms down my heart of emotional stress. Growing older, my journal notebook became my best friend in times of longing and alone-ness and replaced . Looking back, I regret not even enhancing my piano skills, I could have played better and made performances. I could have engaged to competitions that made me famous! Haha! Well, now I could only dream!
I'm sure you also have your frustrations...care to share them?

Everyone has their frutrations about having regretted a decision. For me, it were the following:
-being too afraid that I would screw up my History final exam (due to the awful way they taught history in my class), hence being too afraid to applay for Marketing or Tourism at the university... that way I settled with a major I'm not sure I can find a better job with, and the MA majors I could choose built on my major are rubbish except for one
-not standing on my own two feet and making my own decisions as a kid, letting my mother live my life... like, I wanted to take up on soccer, but she didn't allow it, because that "isn't girly enough" (I still love soccer, and no way I am a masculine girl... I love all things girly and pretty... I just wanted to play football), and also, when an extra class music teacher told me that the cello would suit me as an instrument, and my mother forced me to take the flute instead, because that was more feminine... and the flute and I really DID NOT match... and that kind of stopped my proper classical music education, and I have too much that I don't know anything about, and I feel so stupid and uneducated...

Chill my friend... I also just followed what my parents wanted me to take up in college, I haven't even practiced it. I think God allowed it to happen, though I was hoping it happened the other way around...
Anyway, I hope you still have enough of your dreams and aspirations...maybe try working on them and deciding on them and be adventurous enough to accept whatever happens, at least you'll learn from it all. Also, use those frustrations to your benefit :)

Well I am a frustrated guitarist. 
In my younger years, I play it. I even had my first boyfriend become my boyfriend because he's a good guitar player! 
I know, I know, but hey I'm still young and don't know any better then. But I just let it all go, I always think of the pain and callouses on my fingers. If only I wasn't that wimpy, maybe I would be playing cool tunes on my guitar now. And yes, I still have my good old guitar.

Well, i'm a music lover but sometimes feel frustrated about my piano skill, especially when i could not play popular song both fluently and exactly at the same time. I think it's because i abondoned piano for a long time because i was at boarding school for education several years ago where no piano or electrical piano was available. Now i live alone, I purchased one piano and decide to enhance my skill. Although I'm extremely clear that i can never be an expert on this field, music itsself will always make me joyful. I'm now feeling the improvement every day, which is larger than i ever imagined. I believe it won't be long before I make a qualitative leap. Hope you can enjoy music and piano as well!
