Well now, THAT I agree with. I don't want anybody to come to the conclusion that this is a "sad" decision. In fact, it has been quite liberating for me. I feel a lot freer now, and there are still a lot of things I would like to do in this world. For example, I'd like to learn lyrical dance. I am in no way giving up on myself. Just music, at least for now. Things can always change.

Serena,
 
I've come to the realization that I've never really *loved* music, it was mostly an obsession.  I've heard similar stories of other musicians.  The obsession still waxes and wanes as I get older, but the older I get the more I realize that I enjoy a beautiful sunset or a walk at the art museum or other things more than composing.  Maybe you're at a similar point (i.e. need versus want)  Funny thing that with that realization I find myself more sensitive to lyrics now!  I've never been into lyrics at all...but  I just find the meaning that music or art presents itself to me wherever I am in life.  Art has evolved along with my  life circumstances and my maturity.

=D. Hehe. Thanks! But just so there's no confusion, my name is Drew. I'm a guy, biologically speaking anyway. ^^

It's ok, my real name is  Ima Hogg  from ABILENE texas nahs to meet ya!

I thought your "goodbye" letter was very well written, so perhaps writing is your next creative horizon.  ?
 
All the best,

All this time.... I figured you were a female... mostly due to the avatar name you have.  Can't speak for others, but that's the impression I think quite a few may have had.... no matter... it's all music and it doesn't care who is making it or who is listening to it.
 
I hate to hear when people say they are leaving music for whatever the reason.  But I can understand that there comes a time when physical limitations can intervene with the best of plans and goals.
 
Best wishes to you and I do hope to see you commenting around the forums

You may be leaving music, but it will never leave you.
Good luck!

It doesn't bother me to hear about one leaving something to move on. I don't think physical limitations is the only valid reason either.
 
The downer to me is when one may be forced to move on to something else when they don't want to. 
In a world that has so much to offer and one is hung up on something they're not pleased with and can't or won't move on for whatever reason is a very bad situation the way I see it. 
 
In your case, good for you. Nothing wrong with quitting something and moving on to find other pleasures. Hope you find them.
 
 
 

I'm just about ready to quit with undershreddies.
 
Whooooops. wrong forum.
