Catalina

I started learning the violin at three. I hated it, the sound of a violin was so very sickly. My parents wouldn't allow me to quit because they didn't believe a three year old should get to turn down such an amazing opportunity. For two years I was taught the violin and unwillingly practiced it every day, although I was quite eager to practice piano or dancing.

Then, one day when I was five, my new violin teacher realised that I didn't just hate the sound of my own playing, I also hated the sound of hers. It was then that I was introduced to the viola and I fell in love. The sound of the viola was rich, not strangled. I found it difficult to learn the new cleff but I worked very hard at it. The viola was everything that the violin wasn't, its sound was beautiful.

I found that I had an instrument that I was meant to play, just as I was also born to dance. Do any other musicians, dancers, or sporting types have a similar story? Share it.

The entire family came for a visit, apart from Armando because he still doesn't know where I go for school. Four year olds aren't the best at keeping secrets. Mariana was very impressed and Antonio spent the whole time with his arm around me, growling whenever I so much as looked at a boy.

Hey Catalina,
You put the pills inside the pocket of that jacket you never wear. Look, I know it was a surprise and you didn't even ask for them, but it's not like you can throw them away.

Remember, inside the pocket of the jacket that got stained.

Also, I know a lot of people are having nightmares recently. More so than normal, which is completely understandable. If anyone wants help just let me know and I'll try and send good dreams your way.

Can I move houses? Mine is a mess right now.

I don't know what else to say.

This might rub some people the wrong way, but it needs to be said.

Unless you knew the Prime Minister pesonally, please stop being so shocked that he committed suicide. Yes, it may come as a surprise and of course some of you might be suspicious about the circumstances. However, you do not know the most intimate emotions of someone just because you've seen their face in the media.

In conclusion, stop it with the 'I can't believe he would do that'. Even people who appear happy and together and successful can commit suicide.
