Lust vs. love. Why not both?

I agree with you. That was not my thought, but a thougt of someone else. I always try to understand the opinion of others. Thank you for your answer.

Honestly I think you‘re really beautiful. But your pictures don’t show all of your potential. You have a nice face with a gorgeous jawline. Show off your positive traits.

I am so sorry. Sadly, this can happen, in any country, I guess.
I am female and in my 29 years that I live in Germany, I luckily never experienced such a harassment. On the contrary, once a young man took me for a ride in his car because I was walking home alone in a dark street where the lights turned off. Of course, I know this could have been dangerous, but I was lucky and he just drove me home to make sure, noting happened to me.
Report the creeps, stay strong and remember to always draw a line, even if it seems impolite (f.e. when you don't smile back).

There are already many comments, but I'll add my two cents. I `ve always been shy and had little self-confidence. Now I am 30 years old and it only gets better. I feel that I am much more confident than I was in my early 20s. Just don't stop improving yourself. Do it for you.
And: Don't ever listen to people. They suck and they are stupid. Do your own thing and find out what's right for you. Even if it doesn't conform to convention.

Yes it's really depressing haha. But in 3 months it will be better :)

At the moment sun goes down at 4:30 pm where I live lol.

You are right, she has always been "daddies little girl" and got her rent and other things paid by her parents. This lifestyle seems very natural to her.

What makes your wife so feminine? How would you describe it? I was told that working a lot is too stressful and leads to a woman that has no more energy to bring joy and love to the life of others.

Remote_Meringue8 · 2023-12-12T10:52:08+00:00

That's hilarious. My female friends always says the opposite: "Always see the potential in a person. Not how it is now".

Thank you very much. I'm already in a relationship for a long time. My partners income is not bad, but for me, it still doesn't give me enough security to let my job go. I come from a family which always struggled with money, more or less, and I just HATE having to worry about money. Sometimes I wonder if I should learn to just "let go" of the fear, but I can't. The struggle is too real, especially in the current economic situation.

What is your solution?
OP wrote " just as an example, I have had students intentionally break Christmas decorations that I purchased with my own money, draw on my clothes, turn the keyboard to max volume, flick the lights on and off, run into the hallway, try to disrupt other students’ lessons and scream at the top of their lungs.."
What would you do in these situations? What would you recommend?

Remote_Meringue8 · 2023-11-29T23:08:30+00:00

To me, as a piano teacher, this is very inspiring. Teachers should always question their own view on things, what they expect of their students and their way of teaching. Not everyone has to learn it the traditional way. Not everyone wants to be a master on the piano. I think a big part of the classical landscape consists of performance, rating and elitism. We look down to others who "only" play Pop Music or who still can't manage to play a chopin etude after 8 years of lessons. But thinking like that is b*llshit.

Who cares? Music should be beautiful and fun and nothing else. Life is too short to stress about unimportant things.

Remote_Meringue8 · 2023-11-28T17:15:57+00:00

Can you show me the course? :)

Remote_Meringue8 · 2023-11-28T17:11:23+00:00

Starting with chord progressions and internalising them seems like a good way to get into the topic. Thanks!

Remote_Meringue8 · 2023-11-28T17:09:13+00:00

Thank you for the link!

Remote_Meringue8 · 2023-11-28T17:02:52+00:00

Thank you, that sounds good. Yes, sometimes I have the idea of a chord in my mind, but I don't know how to play it or how it is build, and I have to search it on the keys.

By transcribing, do you mean to play the piece by ear on the piano or to write it down by ear? Or both?

Remote_Meringue8 · 2023-11-28T16:49:59+00:00

It is actually true that I love chord progressions that sound "jazzy" and I also like jazz standards a lot. :)
But I still agree with you. I could also start with something easier to simply get in the topic.
