It's one of those days I wake up in high spirits and wanting to make my own music but I can't because I stretch out for my guitar and immediately remember that I am yet to get a new one and no matter how hard I try, I can't produce a melody with this guitar in this shape.
Before now, I enjoyed the liberty of owning a guitar and playing anytime and anywhere of my choice, a benefit I took for granted. That is until the guitar got spoilt.
Now I realise how true the statement "we don't value what we have, till we loose it" is because I desire to play more now that I don't have a good guitar, unlike the many days where I didn't feel like even touching the guitar let alone playing it. There were weeks where I gave out the guitar to a more enthusiastic person because I was not in the mood to play, how ironic?
Well, it's been what now? 3 months? I guess so, but my guitar has been abandoned for long. Firstly, because I fell while carrying it sometime ago and it broke and secondly because a string cut and I was in a location where I needed to make a 2 hour travel to the closest place I could get a string and I didn't have the liberty of placing an order online.
I felt I could make do with the guitar once I got a string but then I visited a friend and played his guitar, oh boy! Did I enjoy it? Definitely. And I wanted more.
That was when I realised how badly the broken box had been affecting my performances and I swore never to try to repair my own guitar again nor to even play it again. I plan to get a new one and I will do that hopefully before the year runs out but in the meantime I have to make do with visiting my friend anytime I wish to play, that would be my way of coping till I get the guitar of my choice and I can't wait to get it.
Most days when I get the itchy fingers to play, I manage to suppress the urge but with that resultant gloominess that comes with not fulfilling my desires.
As a result, these days when I get this urge, I do not attempt to suppress it but rather I quickly get my self to my friend's place where I can express myself. Thankfully he understands and is always looking forward to my visit so I end up enjoying myself with wholesomeness.
Some days, I even end up borrowing his guitar to return at a later date, he doesn't mind. What are friends for? Lol.
Anyway, like I said, I have the urge today and I need to do the needful, lest I invite the gloominess that come with unproductivity. So, off I go. See you guys later😊
Meanwhile, I wish to add this video because I love it so much. I will remember to get a shirt next time, lol.
