Keep the flame going for those we have lost to suicide.
You got me, officer

My 3 AM thoughts were me thinking about how my country fucked itself by leaving the EU (guess).
And I realised that they are doing Brexit way more extreme than they said they would. Just like
Leave: Oh yeah, we'll stay in the European Economic Area, and I guarantee food and other standards will remain at a reasonable quality.
One of the major components of a neural network is literally called a bias. We should've known.

I want to play a game with you all.
You have to make a new word by changing only one letter of the last word.
Dirt
It's kinda been a brute force process for me. I still don't get every rhythm or pitch right, and I've been playing the piano for at least 14 years (unless you count what I did at 2 years old with no lessons as "playing piano", in which case 16). I also play guitar, but the process is similar.
As you do more playing, you'll find your brain automatically places notes correctly (I no longer have to think almost at all about notes within one ledger line of the main stave for either clef) which will help with playing rhythm, which should also be getting better with playing. You can also train rhythm specifically with exercises. This can be as simple as ignoring the pitch of a note and just playing/clapping rhythms, or you can use exercises you find online.
I did grades, and the progression of these can be very helpful. Not only does the gradual increase in the difficulty of pieces give a nice guided progression, but the exam board I use now, Trinity, has exercises at the back of each book, of which you must learn some (i think one from each category), and one category is rhythm. For my grade six, for example, one of them was all about 3:2 (three against two) polyrhythms, look them up to figure them out, or you can ask and I'll try to explain.
Overall, keep trying to have fun. Play things you enjoy, play things you think are weird or might be a good challenge, improvise, whatever. Just play stuff, it'll get easier.
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU READ MUSIC NOTES??? HOW????
"Doesn't the passage of time scare you? The fact that we are relentlessly pushed along a path to our deaths? The fact that you were forced into this, and your only way to stop it is to end up in the same place it was taking you anyway?"
Maybe, but if time didn't pass my quiche would never be cooked, so that motherfucker better keep going.
FUCK. honestly just FUCK. We missed a very important day yesterday.
