Not that I missed your point (though this will make it sound like I did), if it makes you feel any better, I compare myself to you and feel envious all the time. But proud too. :) Not that I feel quite ready for a kid, but Jade is so darn precious. And you’re much braver than I am in your artistic pursuits. So there. (Love you!)

I think it’s so great that you are now involved with an actual music group, where you not only play music that other people have written (not my strong point!) but also get to improvise and put your own creativity into it.

It’s so easy to fall into the comparison trap. Thanks for sharing this struggle, and helping me to remember that all I have to think about is whether I am being true to myself, and not worry about what amazing feats other people around me are (apparently) accomplishing.
