I wish I was a prodigy in something. Anything. I find myself envious at the 12 year old that has composed 4 symphonies and is attending Juliard. I composed one song when I was 8. It was called “Mommy”. It was literally child’s play compared to this kids symphonic works. In an interview he says he hears the music in his mind. He actually hears multiple pieces of music in his mind and has to write it on paper to get it out of his head. He’s like Mozart. He’s gifted. Then there is that 16 year old that is completing his pre-med. He’ll be a doctor before most kids his age complete their undergrad degrees.

I think my problem is focus. I’ve never been able to completely focus. I get bored and distracted easily. I’m interested in too many things. My prodigy powers have been spread too thin across art, science and entertainment. I try to do too much. I try to accomplish too much…

I’m tired. Time to sleep.
