Maintaining proper ‘balance’ in life isn’t easy, as I’ve learned. I’m pretty busy now, with the new projects at my work and having to start studying again for my retake. And I haven’t played the piano in months, although I’ve had many opportunities to do so, probably I’ve mistook playing piano for a potential distraction to my work and studies, when in reality, spending some quality time on the piano on a regular basis would’ve been somewhat therapeutic and helped me achieve more ‘balance’ that could help in my work and studies.

So I’m going to learn some more Chopin pieces (Waltzes) and maybe a Rachmaninoff Prelude (Op. 23, No. 7?)–or the Moment Musical No. 4?

I figured if my entire day is spent solely on maintaining my own existence (repeat daily), then that’s not a life I want to live. I think musical endeavors, however big or small, can help with one’s search for meaning in the screwed up world that we live in.
