About Me

• I specialize in fingerstyle guitar, and my proficiency extends to the Dan Tranh, Violin, and Piano
• When I'm not teaching, I like to have fun by playing and listening to music, watching drama and anime, reading, capturing the beauty of the sky, stargazing, playing chess, exploring random places, and, of course, getting a good night's sleep. Let's explore the world of music together! 😁

Just Some Thoughts...

🌟 About Figuring Things Out

• It's totally okay not to have everything figured out yet - most adults don't either
• You can learn, change, and figure it out as you go
• Everyone has something to offer. Your way of thinking, your humor, what excites you, your experiences - that's all yours
• Everyone moves at their own pace. You're not behind
• What works for someone else might not work for you, and that's ok
• There’s no one right path or answer. What works now might not work later. There’s more than one way to learn, grow, do something, or get somewhere. There are so many different possibilities. Do what works for you, and take your time.

⚡ Time & Energy Management

• Learn to manage your time and energy - remember to recharge and rest is productive too!
• Focus on what you can control now. Try your best and leave the rest to the universe, god, etc

🎈 Keeping That Childlike Spirit

• If something seems interesting and doesn't hurt to try - why not try it? You might find a new hobby, skill, friend, or adventure
• Keep your curiosity and childlike wonder alive and really live in the present moment
• Find your flow — that playful state where time disappears, you're focused, having fun, and not worrying
• There are no limits to your imagination. Imagine that things can be different, that there are no limitations, and see what happens
• Notice the beauty in little things around you
• Allow yourself to wander and explore

💙 Self-Love & Inner Voice

• Believe in yourself, even when things feel uncertain. You've overcome challenges before
• Your inner critic doesn't have to be in charge. Notice negative self-talk and try to reframe it
• Celebrate small wins and progress, not just big achievements
• Self-compassion. Treat yourself with the same care you'd give someone you love, with kindness and understanding
• Learning to communicate

✨ You have your own unique gifts, the things that make you you. What you’ve been through, what you’ve learned, the way you see the world — there’s no one else in the whole world like you. Your best is wonderful, and your effort shines brighter than the stars. Every step you take is like a light guiding your path forward 🌌

🍀 Take what resonsates, do what works for you, and take your time. Wishing you all the best, take care, have fun, and good luck! You got this 💪
