If anyone was wondering if they should start playing an instrument, for the love of God do! There is such an amazing feeling of accomplishment when you learn something, and it is the best way of expressing your feelings without saying a word. And If you're deciding on going for just one, I seriously doubt you'll want to learn one. Learning a new instrument is like learning a new language: it let's you look at the world from a different perspective, as well as being immensely fun :) I'm learning my 8th instrument, which just so happens to be sax and the feeling is amazing. Learn an instrument, you wont regret it :)

[@dkgonzal]

I agree.

[@cormy89]

Yeah I definitely agree with you. It's the best feeling ever and in my opinion, one of the best ways to express yourself
