Description SUMMER OF 2012

I started learning, Middle C and all that shite. I loved playing. I hated waking up early for lessons, but I loved it, especially the praise I got from my parents. One of my favourites was Runaway River, it was about a river running away, and nobody telling him he shouldn't be. It was simple, easy but beautiful all the same.

AUTUMN OF 2012

School reopened that August. Lessons were moved to Saturdays. I started disliking it, I continued all the same. But I needed my beauty sleep.

OCTOBER 19 2012

halloween party. I won't say how, but that night marked my deepest cut. and one of my last for quite  a bit of time. Next morning, i had piano, had too pull my shit together. hide the blood. couldn't eat or sleep or anything all day.

WINTER 2012
Piano lessons had stopped while I went to Singapore. I had a hard time finding long sleeves. I fought with my parents alot. My birthday was very lonely.

SPRING 2013

All was well. I was in the play. Opening night: april 2. Nervous and excited, pulled costumes together, got all lines memorised, added ad libs, checked lighting,dress rehearsal. OPENING NIGHT I screwed up a bit, not  very much, just stuttered. 2nd night, talked to you. you were playing-or trying to- piano. plunking note after note. My piano lessons had stopped by then, but you have me reason to go over them again. I offered to lend you my music book. we talked until call time that night. Closing night, you left the music room, came to watch. My friends gave me so much hope, maybe too much. I really thought i had a chance.

AUTUMN 2013

We kept talking. late night chats, arguing about who would go to sleep first, let me tell you, i was so giddy. at first, i thought i had a chance. choir concert. you talked to me.you sat next to me. you were really nice. and all was going well. she told me you had fallen for another girl 5 years ago, and had given up on love. she told you to ignore me.you did. she told you, or maybe the other she did. i never thought you'd actually listen to those bitches, You knew how i felt about you, and i never got my music back.

Summing up our lives is difficult. At least it's proven so for me. Kudos.
