I've made several mistakes, including a relationship that resulted in me forfeiting my self-respect as well as my sense of self when it was taking place. But I also made a lot of positive choices in the process from a place of self-love, so it is not as cut and dry as it seems. And if you're reading this, you're probably wanting the full story.

Bass Cleft
Written four years ago. D major. F minor. G major. There were so many keys when playing the cello, but those were my wheelhouse, the ones I gravitated towards. Was I a good player? I still cannot answer that question, though I have not touched a cello in seven years. Funny, considering it was my life for seven years as well. Soon, it will be a longer time since I touched a cello than when I played.
