I play guitar casually since a little before COVID. Becoming more fluent with it every time I play is an amazing feeling.

Getting into a groove, putting my own spin/expressing myself with songs I like, and jamming with friends are experiences that are unmatched in enjoyment for me.

Making up my own silly songs on the fly is fun too.

Learning to play is the best thing I ever did. I had to get over the idea that it would be hard work to get good, or the idea that I'd never be as good as someone who started as a kid, or that I'd ever even be technically good, at all. Letting go of that stuff allowed me to enjoy each moment playing, and just have fun.
