Nov 2023

I am a musician, but I had to quit playing to take care of my mom about a year and half ago. This, just as I was getting some well paying work and breaking into playing a bit with the local symphony orchestras.

It's just the two of us in her old house, I haven't seen any of my friends, or had time to practice or write music in a long time.

I try to remind myself that the vast majority of people on the planet have it much worse off than me, but I'm freaking out about my future financial security, and whether I'll ever be able to get my chops back if, and when, I get back to my former life.
