I wish I was a performance level pianist.

I wish I was completely fluent in Spanish.

I wish I was just a little more social than I am. Ie., I wish I felt more comfortable around people.

I wish I was a contortionist.

I trained for a long time and was really good for awhile, but had too many dislocations and my orthopedic surgeon says I had to stop.

I wish I were better at communication. There seems to be a real art to it, that eludes me

Practice, practice, practice right?

I wish I had an outlet like being a singer/songwriter. There is a lot of crap rattling around in my head, and I don’t seem to have a proper release for it.

Honestly, I have tried therapy and other things, but I need to find a useful way to express myself, as I am not good at it unless it has a structure - very much like a song.

It would be so varied. Anger, happiness, gratefulness, humility, critique etc

Never mind!

@Joker do you feel the music more, or the lyrics? Both I’m guessing. But, why don’t you just spill your guts on the page and share it in the creativity section?

Song, poem however it comes out. Just a thought. It’s very therapeutic

Definitely both

I probably should. Use here as an outlet sometimes, but not quite in that way

A while a go I wrote 20,000 words of a novel. It was a dystopian sci-fi story that basically was a massive sociological critique of modern society and it’s failure to learn from it’s repeated mistakes of violence, division and basically trashing the environment.

It sorta glorified the use of hallucinogenics as well, which is probably not good.

I found writing it heavily triggering in the end, as it was a outlet for me to explain a massive grand theory/conspiracy and belief system I built when I had my first psychosis at 17.
