I'm trying to focus on being more comfortable in my own skin. I need to lose weight--and that's part of it, but I also have to learn to be happy again. This year has taken a great toll on me emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I want to better myself in all of those areas. I need to learn that my happiness is NOT defined by the scale. I am also happy to be getting back to class after taking the summer and fall semesters off. The one thing 2014 has taught me is how to have grace. I'm used to having it for others, but not for myself. This year, I will have grace with myself.

ETA: And I'm going to kick this cold's arse. Seriously tired of coughing.

summer_gphib, I wish you well in this.


Me? Piano's my favorite instrument and I've dabbled with learning it at various points, particularly the last 1.5 years or so. After Christmas I went all in and bought a digital piano. .....significant investment so it's a big step for me. Really, it boils down to making time to put in work (shouldn't I mean play?) at it every day -- be it chord progressions, inversions, scales (uuugh), reading, whatever.

I've got some other goals for 2015, but this is the one I'm most jazzed about (pun intended).

Bruh, I didn't know you played the piano. If you mentioned it I don't remember. On a scale from 1-10, 10 being the best, how good would you say you are?

LOL. I wouldn't say I "play" yet. I can chord out a few basic songs, but it's nothing you'd want to pay to hear yet. To answer your question, I'd say
"1.5," maybe 2 if everybody got ear plugs.
