I am friends with my ear now..
In these 3 years many things have happened, I have improved my musicality, my piano skills, I practiced flute more than anything, I learnt to play the harmonica, and I learnt tonight , after 5 months away from my piano (and 8000km away from it) that I still love it and miss it, even though I try to hide it like a love you can't have. I hope to return to it soon.. Music feeds me, and I have been eating the same dish for 5 months.
