Hey beardedbard!
I can understand already that you like fantasy and maybe, just maybe you played World of Warcraft in the past...
And this is another thing we have in common.
I love fantasy worlds like Azeroth or The Middle Hearth or why not Westeros of Game of Thrones.
Because there I can do a full immersion and my brain will stop doing the negative thinking and start focusing on the movie/game I'm playing.
So yeah I was helped a lot by video games and movies in general.
Just to keep my brain busy.
I also play drums since I was a kid, in the same School of Music in worked 2 years as secretary.
I hope to talk to you soon my friend,
Stay strong and be positive, life is soooo good (sometimes)
Mattia
