Getting in touch with your "inner child"

Hey, folks. When I was a youngster (about twenty years ago now), I used to play the guitar, trumpet, piano, and drums to escape the *** which was my teenage years. As I grew older, I became more interested in honing in on my social skills and career. The more I delve into this, the more I feel I'm losing my sense of self. I recently decided to take up the cello and, much to my relief, the stress all began to melt away as soon as I started to learn the instrument and make music—much like it did when I was younger. It will take a while before I reach any sort of performing level, but I'm hoping to pursue it more aggressively now in case I ever want a career change or a semi-pro hobby.


What hobbies have you used (or could use) to get back in touch with your inner child?

That's great that you're getting back in touch with your 'inner child', and learning the cello sounds fun! I hope it brings you peace, relaxation and joy 😊 I consider getting back into playing the piano, I used to everyday through my teens but in the last few years I've lost interest due to poor health. One day I hope to pick it back up 🎼

@PestoPasta8973 Wow, thanks for sharing what you did in your post. I was forced to play the piano because that is what nice girls did. I hated it. I don't remember any of the things that I used to be interested in. However, with your thread, I'm going to think about them.
