An instrument. It's soul food and extremely therapeutic. Even if you suck, just learn to let it go. I find it's really good for my mental health. I dunno, it's music ya know? Lol
I'm really grateful my parents pushed me to start playing the violin at 5, because it massively enriched my life. Even when I was bullied, abused, and miserable, playing my violin would help pick me up just a bit.
Absolutely, im grateful every day I can pick up and play. One day my bones will be to weak to do much of anything yknow.
I agree, singing does that for me as well. Could be having a shit day but after choir things always seem a bit better
music is pretty epic and cool.
This is the one I was looking for. Everyone should learn an instrument. The struggle is so rewarding. Music is such a natural means of expression; if you're happy, depressed, in a mood, annoyed.. all of that can be put into music. It can be the purest joy or the most intimate therapy.
I know, there really is no barrier to music. And it's SO tactile or something, like there's no middle man to your own expression and emotion. You can play music with anything anywhere. And it feels so good, on a biological level, music is engraved into our DNA. It's the most fulfilling thing in my life and I think it's made me a better person. I'm sure the same can be said for many hobbies, music is just the one I chose I guess (:
