I've been thinking for a long time about learning to play the violin. I keep imagining myself playing various songs I love on it and it feels like it could be fun. Mom even said she'd think about letting me use hers so it's put to good use, and Anthoney offered to teach me.

For some reason though I'm really hesitant to make a definite decision. I don't know why...it's not like it'd hurt to try (well, it might hurt my fingers lol). Maybe I'm just worried about getting too frustrated with it and giving up too soon, or just being unmotivated and not practicing enough. Or something.

I'm not really sure. I don't even know why I felt the need to post about it >>

Why not give it a try and even if you end up quitting that'll only teach you more about yourself. I've taken several approaches to teaching myself Spanish and have already failed twice. The first time because I didn't set a clear goal and thus lost interest. The second because even though I had a goal, I was too rigorous and burnt myself out very quickly. I'm preparing to attempt it again with this information in mind until I finally get it. I think your violin could be the same, or if you find out it's not for you as your other friend said, then maybe you'll be able to use what you learned for another interest. Anyway, good luck and have fun! :)
