There is a quiet heartbreak in looking at something that once brought you total joy and only feeling a heavy weight of exhaustion instead. When life gets overwhelming, even the things we love most—like picking up an instrument to play—can start to feel like another unmet expectation or a reminder of the energy we no longer have. It’s a harsh realization, but it's completely okay to let things rest until the pressure lifts and the music feels inviting again rather than painful.

It was too painful to look at. I was feeling that it was a dead weight

This story felt relatable. When I got busy with my career all hobbies disappeared. I used to make mandala art but I could not get time for it. Corporate life has affected our hobbies for sure. I can understand your struggles. But what happened next?
