Since we moved to this house last summer, I had a Since we moved to this house last summer, I had a vision for a piano in this corner of my drawing room. I've been passively checking FBMP for awhile now, since it's definitely wasn't a priority (haha we didn't even have a couch till few days ago). 

So when I saw this beauty 5 mins away from us, I said to myself it had to be mine! 

I finished 7 years of musical school (I was 15 at the time, and barely played ever since). But I really want to pick it up again and teach my kids how to play (well, who am I kidding? I don't have patience for teaching my kids, so I'll find someone who is more qualified than me). 

Wouldn't it be wonderful to hear my kids play? ☺️ I'd start with Chopin, he's always been my favorite☺️ I hope kids are ready for it😅🤣

Will it ever get easy? Or let's say easier? The pa Will it ever get easy? Or let's say easier? The pain, the betrayal, that feeling of being powerless? Some people are simply not good people. And I've done my share. I was in a survival mode for more years I can count. How about switching the narrative and fucking focus my energy on me? To thrive! For me and my kids! That's the only thing I want now. 
It's hard to do, but thriving is the only way to go!
