What a great post, truly. There's so much to unpack, the between the lines stuff but unfortunately that'll never happen so publicaly on here. I'm glad to see some open and honest words and someone who's happy to share real stories though. Shows personality.
I played piano too, from the age of four and a half...and I was rather bullied in school also, an outcast, although for different reasons (I'm brownish)...I guess I'm saying we had similar experiences.
Anyway, I'll be back to vote on this when my VP increases a little and sent it to curangel. Thanks for taking the time.
What a fine comment to wake up to! You're very kind, but I think I've said that before. Thank you for taking the time.
You're brownish? I imagine that just about beats ears that stick out at right angles from your head and a parent drunk in charge of a sewing machine. But sure didn't we both turn out just fine.... if just a tad pixilated:)
We did indeed, bloody gorgeous, the both of us!
Thanks for your nice remarks and, as always, I appreciate you participating in the weekend-engagement concept.
