  • There’s no shame in stopping, or in taking a break.

    Another perspective: you aren’t enjoying playing. Do you enjoy listening? Do you have music you just like to sit and listen to?

    There’s so many ways to engage with music, and I don’t think you’re not a musician if you take time to figure out what inspires you, if anything. Regardless of what you play, it’s a deeply personal thing to play your instrument.

    Maybe give yourself permission to just not try for a bit, and see how you feel if you were to “decide” to be done.
