This book was a beautiful meditation on the life of a musician. It resonated deeply with me. The fact that you will have to abandon some dreams to accomplish others is a tragic part of life, which will be the never receding aftertaste of each and every decision that a human being makes.
It was beautiful to read the authors retrospective thoughts on his ambitions, his lost ideals and how he recovered the love of playing guitar. I felt like living his life. I felt like falling in love with the guitar. I felt like being this upcoming prodigy. I felt like losing all hope for all of my ambition. I felt finding this moment of catharsis.
