You're not 20 anymore! |
Hey , at 42 I have officially arrived at middle life! When discussing this with a student he said something so surprising. "I welcome any mid life crises that I have" I love this attitude. What's wrong with taking stock? Signs I AM going through a mid
life crisis include: 1) I've bought a motorbike (teachers salaries can't afford a Porsche!) 2) I'm watching action films to replenish my depleting testosterone. 3) I've come back to writing songs on guitar. (Something I haven't done since my early 20s) Point number 3 is bringing me a lot of joy and understanding. Writing songs about any subject that comes
up. It's a lot of fun and a great way to lay yourself bare and be honest within your lyrics and mood. Around 1/6 of my students enjoy songwriting. It's usually something that matures after you've been playing other peoples songs for 5 years or so. If you've never tried it, give it a go. Just a little doodle on the guitar, or maybe some words you've
written. Or just strumming some chords and humming over the top. Explore that, see where it leads.
Keep on playing,
