Dear friends, I sincerely apologise for going AWOL for such a long time.
I fell off the wagon, so so hard, and so unexpectedly!
It all started during those days in late January when I realised the world would never be the same again. It felt impossible to devote my time and energy to playing the piano. So futile, so meaningless. What good would it do? How would practising the piano make any difference, any difference at all?
I knew I needed to do something, but what? How? I’ve never really recovered from my latest burnout, and I can’t be counted on to show up anywhere. Such a crisis.
Then I came up with a way to make a difference: I edit Wikipedia to help ensure that factual information is available for everyone. Once I was settled there, I could start playing the piano again. At first, I practised hesitantly, some days I practised, some days I didn’t, but now I am stable and feel confident that I’m back.
So please forgive me for leaving you without a single message. Sophia — I don’t know how many days I need to be excused for, but please excuse me!
