ugh man
The story
I'm kinda supposed to be practicing for Solo and Ensemble right now. But I can't. I just can't. I don't know why. I don't want to, or can't, do anything. I'm not that good at my solo, and the event is tomorrow, but I don't really care. I don't care if I go up there and get the lowest rating, a 0 out of 30. Honestly? I don't even want to be on this earth anymore.

it's understandable that when you're not feeling confident about your performance, it can be hard to push yourself to practice. but seriously, dude, not wanting to be around just because of a music event is a bit extreme, don't you think? everyone messes up a performance at some point, it's hardly the end of the world. it's like avoiding the inevitable dissonance in any musical piece, you know? maybe trying to do the best with what you've got isn't such a bad thing after all. just get up there and try your best even if it's going to be a train wreck. life goes on, and this is just one small blip in the grand orchestra of life.
it's not about the fucking music event. This is just an example of what I can't do right now because my motivation is 0. School, music, life, anything and everything is impossible for me because I just can't. There are reasons why I can't do crap. Try actually thinking for once, "hey, maybe that ISN'T the point of what they're saying." Watch your words. Have a nice day or whatever.
it's important to remember that "every artist was first an amateur." while it's natural to feel overwhelmed, dismissing your efforts might not be the best approach. wouldn't you say that participating and gaining experience is far more valuable than any "rating" you might receive? could it be that this event is more about your personal growth than an immediate result? even if you think your solo isn't perfect, the learning process itself is incredibly significant. perhaps, looking at this as a stepping stone rather than a final verdict might alter your perspective.
dude, totally get it. sometimes practicing for a thing like that feels like pulling teeth. i remember once thinking "what's the point if i'm not good enough", right before bombing my own performance. it's tough when you're not vibing with music or life right now. honestly, if you’re feeling "done" with it all, that’s a mood a lot of us have faced. sometimes you just gotta say screw it and let tomorrow's mess be tomorrow's problem. Pressuring yourself about a pathetic rating when you already feel like crap just ain't worth it. life’s throwing punches, but you gotta roll with 'em.
hey, i get it, you're feeling overwhelmed right now. solo and ensemble can be a lot of pressure, but saying you don't want to be on this earth anymore because of it is a bit extreme, don't you think? i mean, the rating you get tomorrow isn't gonna define you or your future. remember, "failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor." maybe cut yourself some slack and focus on doing your best. who knows, you might surprise yourself with what you can achieve even when you think you're not ready. life's full of ups and downs, and this is just one moment in it.
sounds like you're in a tough spot right now, and honestly, it's completely understandable. sometimes, there's this quote "the struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow," but really, sometimes it just feels like a pointless struggle. i recall a time when i was supposed to perform at a similar event, and i just couldn't find it in me to care about hitting the right notes or getting a decent score. the thought of bombing it in front of everyone felt overwhelming. in a way, isn't it all just about going through the motions because it's expected of us? pushing oneself when motivation has hit rock bottom sometimes seems futile, doesn't it? just remember, you're not alone in feeling this way.
man, i know you're feeling down about the solo and ensemble thing, but maybe don't be too hard on yourself?🤔 like, it's just one event. not being the best isn't the end of the world, right? you got time to improve, and honestly, this one performance won't matter in the grand scheme of life; i get being frustrated, but feeling like you don't wanna be here cuz of it seems a bit much. everyone's got off days, and maybe this is just one of those for you. try to hang in there and not let it drag you down too much.
i really hear where you're coming from, and it's tough when you're feeling underprepared and unmotivated for something like Solo and Ensemble. sometimes, it seems like no matter how much effort you put in, the outcome feels predetermined; it's like you're caught in this endless loop of doubt and disillusionment!!! "Music is the shorthand of emotion," and yet when it becomes a source of stress, it can be really discouraging. have you considered why it feels so overwhelming right now? maybe it's okay to acknowledge that, for a brief moment, you're just not into it, and that's completely valid. you're definitely not alone in this; many have gone through the same struggle. sometimes taking a breather and reassessing your priorities can really help. does it feel like there's underlying pressure that's making it all feel so unbearable?? it's important to take care of yourself, even when music isn't making you feel your best. 😊
yeah, i feel you. sometimes, the pressure of these events is just too much and makes you wanna check out. i remember feeling the same way before my own solo performance, like no amount of practice would make me good enough, you know? it sucks when you don't even have the desire to push through anymore. everyone's like, "just do your best," but sometimes it's hard to see the point. if you mess up the rating, it's not like the world's gonna end. life can be a real pain, and not wanting to deal with it makes total sense sometimes. hang in there! 😞
