Hey Jorge! I used to play piano too and even won a trophy for it. Have you heard of the language learning app Duolingo? I've been learning Spanish on there for like 7 years now and they have PIANO now too!!! (Chess too, I picked up last year) I was playing it daily on my phone and it was so much fun! Duolingo even came out with a keyboard you can connect to your phone to play it and yes, I bought it. My new phone is "out of pace" with the music so sadly I need to get a new cell phone to play it properly, but I was definitely enjoying it a lot! I love how courageous you are to come out here and be so vulnerable with all of us. I struggle with this immensely! I've noticed that when it's my turn to talk, I rush through a quick answer and that isn't giving anyone a chance to get to know me at all. So, I want to applaud your efforts for coming out here and expressing who you truly are. I can tell from what you wrote here and what you said earlier on the call that we have some similar struggles. I'm so sorry about you losing your dad, especially at such a young age. I lost mine in June and I'm still in denial about it. No one could replace my dad, so I get that. Also, saying "my mom's husband" is pretty clear that he's not your dad. I hope that one day I can express myself like you have. My journey this past 6 years has been incredibly difficult with the mold poisoning/autoimmune. I don't ever want to be a victim or sound like one, things have been challenging and I am doing my best, but I still make a lot of mistakes, especially when it comes to me working out. I keep doing more than my body can handle and I'm used to being able to do more. After watching my grandma and my dad wither and pass over these past 14 months, my main goal aside from learning is getting into peak shape so I can prevent or avoid falling apart in my later years. This is the most vocal and real I've been with anyone in a while. Right after our class call today, I had to race my nearly 20-year-old Persian cat to the vet, only to be told I have to put her down. I don't know how to be stoic with this information. She's my first pet and I had her for, well, it would've been 20 years this December, but I guess not. Thank you for reading this, and again, for sharing about who you are and what you're all about. You've got a friend in me.

@Jorge Gracia Thank you Jorge. I'm sitting here alone with my cat while she sleeps. You've really been through a lot and you're so young. I'm my experience, this means you're going to do something really important in this world. Seriously. I've been through it too. I don't talk about my life a lot because I don't want to be a victim or sound like one, but I won't lie, it's been challenging. I think we're fortunate to know what we know about ourselves and the world or these things would be that much harder. Thank you again for being willing to be so open.

This is so interesting! I'd love to learn more about how you heal people using art. Very cool! 💯

This is so beautiful. You've got this! 💕

I love this for you! ❤️

Thank you all very much!
