I watched you play that violin; your forehead wrinkled with frustration as your fingers fumbled with each bumble . . . but I thought it was beautiful. You have yet to play for long, but you're really doing well! I say these things, to your deaf ears, for you refuse to hear that your playing is beautiful. Your determination spoke wonders of your motivations. You'd never give up, even if it was rough. P.S.) I think you're beautiful.
