What great advise Kyle. The life of the mind remains yours to explore and to add your own creations to.

Another thought: science is doing some amazing things right now. In particular I am thinking of electronic implants interfacing ones brain directly. The expectation seems to be that an implant will allow one to manipulate instruments via their thoughts. I can't recall where, but I saw a program about this that seemed extremely promising. So you shouldn't give up on music. Maybe electronica is in your musical future.

Assuming you type, you could take up a cause close to your heart on the net and be the spokesman.

I just think David's advice was brilliant. Look what Helen Keller accomplished without a powerful assistant like the computer and internet, you have available.

It's perfectly understandable you have bad days, but do share it here and please don't be consumed by them, David's right, create. (: respects
