Word Music.
By trade, I am not a writer; I am a musician. I live my life in music: practicing, performing, analyzing, creating. So I find it intriguing that the medium in which I am more comfortable expressing myself is the written word. I enjoy writing and music equally, but I find more comfort in the fact that I can explain myself as thoroughly (or vaguely) as I want through my words. With music, it’s always a guessing game; I am aware of what emotions I am feeling and I can hope my music will reflect them, but what I play won’t mean the same to everyone. It is not fair to say that one is better than the other, but I wish there could be some way to combine the two.
Needless to say, there are things on my mind that I wish I could articulate. They are currently running rampant in the folds of my brain, and it is so frustrating to be unable to explain anything.

I share your sentiments. Alas, your skill with words far surpasses mine, so frustrating is an understatement for me. Sometimes it makes me wonder if I’m stupid or something. It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one that feels frustrated at times.
