Before my strengths, I was lost with the guitar

This is a story about a guitar I let go of 16 years ago that I could never forget.

What I bought in my teens was a budget version of a certain artist's model.
I practiced a lot with that guitar. There were phrases that only took shape after I played until my fingers hurt. I truly believe it was the one instrument that supported me back then.

But when I turned 30, I moved my life overseas. I figured I'd get used to it with just one Telecaster, so I kept a Fender USA Telecaster and got rid of the rest. (In business terms, it was like the feeling of 'I'll be fine with just one suit for now.')

However, I didn't get used to it.
No matter how much time passed, every time I played, I only felt a sense of discomfort.

Then, as I approached 40, I reached my limit. I decided to buy a new guitar, but I found myself lost for seven years, wondering whether to choose based on the sound I wanted, ease of play, or looks.

Ultimately, since it's for practicing at home, I decided to just be practical and bought an affordable one last week. It is actually incredibly easy to play, and I am enjoying the feeling of my stress fading away.

My stingy self had been agonizing over this for a long time, but the last thing I did was ask a simple question.

If there were no restrictions at all, what would you want to do?

The answer was, 'Buy a guitar for practicing fast playing. And if I need one, buy an SG for the stage as well.' (Even though it costs money!)

What is something you would like to do if there were no restrictions in your life from here on out?
