yep! I had a conversation with my psych at our last session. I was only taking ritalin on days I needed to focus. She reviewed my days and when I was taking it, pointing out how the ritalin was improving all sorts of areas in my life and that taking daily will help me stay stable and develop a stable identity and confidence. She encouraged me to take it daily as ADHD can cause problems in many areas of your life beyond productivity. I was worried about developing tolerance. She said we could easily address that if it becomes a problem.
Moral: Talk openly to your psych about it. Also, find a compassionate and engaged one. There are many that do care.
ITT: people who have severely underestimated Mozart's musical capacities and contributions.
Mozart is a musician that is studied by nearly any professional musician. There are historians, musical scholars, and museums dedicated to him. He's a household name across the world. He established a period of music. As a teenager, he deciphered a 12 min choral piece with multiple groups and solos after hearing it once and by memory wrote it down later that night (he heard it a 2nd time a few days later for minor corrections). When he presented the score to the clergy, they said he got one note wrong. After investigation, Mozart heard it right. The musician's score was off by a note. Could any popular musician mentioned here decipher just a 6 min song of 4 instrument band after hearing it once with pen and paper ready? Imagine telling any music legend now, "Hey, you're off by a half a step on the 3rd note of bar 28 of your own song."
Comparing an awesome popular singer, guitarist, or band to him is like comparing your friend that got a job at NASA to Einstein. There is no modern Mozart. There have been greats since Mozart, but there haven't been any Mozarts since Mozart. I say this as a Beethoven fan. Mozart was the only Mozart. He was so good, that his name became a title for great musician: Mozart. No one listed in this thread is anywhere near being a Mozart.
That's what I'm learning, though I find nothing wrong with that. Even if there are a few that still like the more pushy stuff, I'll be fine sharing them.
I would love to see the things you generate but don't share. You're one of my favorite on here. Also, if it seems unwelcome, we can just create a new community and share there.
Do you ever think of doing something every year on a special date for him? In that manner, while he still wont experience it, he will kind of live on a full life. Regardless, I think this piece was a pretty good contribution in his memory.
Oh, she would either increase the dose or change to another medication. She was confident that it would be addressed.
