i think it’s good to practice at least yearly. it’s humbling and after the panic and maybe tears you’ll realize it really doesn’t matter and maybe it’ll come out cool if you stick with it
go to events even if u think they’ll be iffy - better to have some memories of living life than none, go to library, go sit on the nearest grass
also u can’t expect good arts and culture if u don’t support the bad/amateur stuff as well 🦀
