But a balance means a compromise, and a compromise means taking from my core, which isn't really possible. I have decided not to care about having things to fall back on because either my iron will will help me to play again, or I can be happy listening and trying to get better.
Thank you for your advice, if you can give me a good convincing reason that an education to go with musicianship makes me unstoppable then I will totally do that.
I also find myself now without my guitar sitting at this computer constantly even today on my first day without guitar. I also have eaten more than my body tells me I should. I am considering riding my bike down to my local music store and playing his equipment.
