Week 215 | I was gifted with a guitar

Hello Hivers. I am here to participate in this week's #weekend-engament topic which is... **Do you play a musical instrument? Tell us about it...** Music has always been my companion. I couldn't survive a day without hearing or listening to music. In fact, singing in a karaoke is my stress reliever. Whenever I get too preoccupied with certain matters, get pressured, or burned out, I sing. It makes me gain back my energy. It is my outlet, in other words. Singing in the church since I was in second grade has widened my horizons, not just with the type of music I want to listen to, but also with playing musical instruments. I had also joined a song composition with which I wrote the lyrics, my other colleague manned the musical arrangement, and ate Dave (one of my bff's) interpreted the song. It was Hunino, a songwriting composition for Snr. Santo Nino.  Going back to playing a musical instrument, I have learned how to play guitar. I once started playing it way back in college but since I didn't have my own guitar, I stopped learning. Just last year, on my birthday, I was gifted with a new guitar. (I even shared it here.) I once gave up learning to play the guitar for some reason. At the back of my mind, thoughts like *you don't have to learn it, just sing and what else do you want to prove?* came raging in. But somebody believed in me. Somebody believes that I can learn and play the guitar. I just have to learn it at my own pace. Little by little. One song at a time. And so I did. I have posted some of my videos playing the guitar while singing on one of my social media accounts. And yes, I am still learning.  No one is ever late in learning to play any musical instrument or try things for the very first time. At any age, I think we are capable of learning, of discovering, of experiencing. This is all for today's participation in weekend engagement topics initiated by sir @galenkp . Until the **netswriting.**
