Can easily sit at the piano for hours and play. It relaxes. Soothes. Clears my mind. Yet, dozens upon dozens of sheet music sit on the piano, half-learned. Have become quite adept at flitting from song to song. Quickly obsessed. Then, easily bored. A Sagittarius trait, yes. Not proud of it. Cannot sit for hours and [...]

In the midst of reading inappropriately hilarious [...]
