Self Esteem Bashing
August 23rd, 2007 by adminSo here I am again sitting at my keyboard with nothing to write about….
That stalling sentence that I just did gave me time to think of what to write about but I think it’s better if I just leave what I write there otherwise it feels too much like I’m writing something thats really important….
So I play the violin….
I’m not overly talented… But I can play Ok…. ish
So let me set the scene for you…
I’m sitting in the small sound proof practice room in my schools music block…
I’m there with my mate who is much much better than I am but for some reason has really hard time playing simple pieces…
We’re playing a simple piece… As long as you check the dynamics and keep a steady beat your fine…. So we play it though fine…. And the teacher says “That was really good Philip.”
This may not seem like much but that’s been playing on my mind for the rest of this afternoon….
She said it like she was really surprised that I could play… It wasn’t even a hard piece… I’m not being modest… I’m not one of those people who downplay their talents… If i was really good at something I’d probably tell the world…
So I go to my English class which is half done (I was busy getting my self esteem bashed) I walk in and do the English class thing for half an hour… Go out and someone I know starts up a conversation about me playing a violin… and she says “I just can’t imagine you playing an instrument…” I reply ” Well thats just because you just can’t imagine me with any talent or skill.” (*Long extremely awkward pause*) That’s honestly what she thinks! I was joking…
So overall a good self esteem day…
Those are my favourite type of days…
