I wanna change my life tomorrow and start practicing music and stop wasting time...

this

i'm honestly not sure what to tell you, dog. if you really are 27, you've got a lot of work to do and not much time. i dunno, man. i guess i'd say just dive in and recognize the fact that you have nothing to lose. i hesitate to say that it's too late, but if you've never even touched an instrument before, you're gonna have to work harder than you'd ever want to.

and don't let images like the one you posted spur you into doing this. do it for yourself, not because some user bullied you into doing it. i really mean that. because this image is not you, okay. i want you to believe that, even though i don't know you because i don't want you to hate yourself. you spend too much time on image boards? some people spend too much time drunk and beating their wives, and even those people might be redeemable. you're not a bad person because of your habits, they aren't what make you. you decide that.

anyway, i'm 24, and what i say should not be taken seriously because my brain is a short-circuited piss-zone. but what can you do? we live in the entertainment generation and we're encouraged to consume, pop happy-pills, drink cocktails and imbibe other slightly-more-illicit substances whenever things aren't going well. me and you are likely no worse than anyone else. maybe find slight comfort in that if you can.

anyway. you can read all that or ignore it. you should orobs ignore it.

I read it. Thanks for the input. I have some experience with music already, even had a couple purchases on my bandcamp. There are certain instruments ive never touched that i still want to learn, but im gonna focus on getting better at the ones I have used too

That’s basically me except I don’t watch porn that much desu. But anyways, yeah, this place has rotted my brain. I’m thankful for it in certain ways and I’d say it still has done more good than harm unironically, but at this point of 5 years being here, I really should leave especially this board. Yea Forums is neat at first since it exposes you to some neat resources (last.fm, RYM, charts, etc.) and you can find a lot of solid recs. However, after a good year or so, it’s really just a place to shitpost. Shitposting’s okay if it’s for a short amount of time, but you might find yourself killing way too much time doing so perhaps on a daily basis. (I’m an example of that.) That is probably the case for most other boards. They can be in a way useful at first, but they soon become places to just kill time. I’d recommend checking out most boards here and trying to learn something from each, but don’t stay too long. If you’ve been here too long, I’d recommend not trying to completely cut it off at first especially if you’re some NEET with no real life friends or something. But, I’d definitely suggest at the very least weaning yourself off Yea Forums. I’m trying to do so myself. Good luck OP. :)

I was able to unplug for awhile and it was nice. But you sort of have to sacrifice boards and social stuff for it.

It's not a "great task". If you build up mundane things like that you're just setting yourself up for failure.

fuck i got data smog lads....what do i do

self-loathe yourself into a medical coma as penance

YOU NEED A HARD REBOOT ASAP. STOP POSTING ON Yea Forums AND AVOID THE INTERNET AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. YOU CAN STILL JERK OFF BUT NOT TO PORN. YOU CAN SMOKE WEED AND DRINK IN MODERATION BUT GET OFF ALL PHARMACEUTICALS AND HARD DRUGS. LISTEN TO NOTHING EXCEPT SCHOENBERG, WEBERN, SCRIABIN, MAHLER, AND BARTOK FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS. YOU CAN THANK ME WHEN YOU'VE REACHED THE OTHER SIDE!

>YOU CAN THANK ME WHEN YOU'VE REACHED THE OTHER SIDE!
...SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT IF HE FOLLOWS YOUR ADVICE, THEN HE'S GOING TO KILL HIMSELF AND THAT'LL YOU WILL HAVE DONE IT TOO SINCE YOU'LL BE WAITING THERE FOR HIM?

i listened to that when my brain was fried

you people are like 35yo women making vision-boards. stop trying to magically create success and a new-you. the only thing that gets you to the 'other side' of anything is actual work.

The vision-boards are just something to make your goal more concrete. Obviously, it will involve work to reach that.

yea, but it applies to like 10-20% of users, basically neets, you can change "imageboard" to any other social media site or video game still would be "accurate" for small portion of user base that would sit at home all day anyway

>i hesitate to say that it's too late, but if you've never even touched an instrument before, you're gonna have to work harder than you'd ever want to
Jesus christ why act so dramatically? He never sais he wanted to become a rockstar, just play an instrument. 27 is not 75 ffs. The only thing he needs is the discipline to do it consistently. It doesn't require superhuman effort.

tldr. just buy my healing crystals and y'all be fine

>What threads and boards and other websites can I read in the meantime

this is exactly your problem, you shouldn't be wasting time on online discussion and focus on practising music. online discussion is a time waster, there is nothing valuable to be found here.

btw 27 isn't that much, you can learn quite a lot in just a couple of years and you have the rest of your life to learn. but you need to start learning now and try to practise every day.

This. Shit like
>switches between boards just like normies between tv channels
is only an observation you can make if you yourself spend all day here.

nice image, but you missed out
>unable to communicate with people in real life due to years of alienation and loneliness

stop posting unrelated images first

i hope no one thinks Yea Forums is escapist in any way though

>if you really are 27, you've got a lot of work to do and not much time.

BULLSHIT.theres 12 notes
