"All I want is to be anything but I'm nothing."

That's how I feel when I see the people around me playing musical instruments. 

Those lucid notes; sometimes flowing, sometimes skipping, sometimes not at all. 

I just can't get enough of them. 

Since young, I have been wanting to learn at least one musical instrument and be really good at it. 

Not just good but really good. 

To the extent of performing in top-notch concert halls.

To the extent of meeting top-notch musicians from all over the world. 

But at this point of time, all I can think is "It's too late.

It's too late to achieve what I want. 

After all the world is a competitive world. 

All I can be is a casual musician. 

Playing music only for myself and the people around me. 

I guess that should be enough.

That should be alright for me. 

And at the same time, I will sing for myself.

And then I will sing for my family, my friends and the generations to come. 

I will sing and play and spread my love for music. 

At the end of the day it won't be all or nothing.

At the end of the day the first sentence will change.

"All I want is to be anything, but I'm nothing compared to anything. I'm something."
