I sit on my bed with my guitar.

It has been three weeks since I played.

My fingers feel stiff and clumsy now.

I remember the last time I tried a new song.

I made many mistakes and stopped halfway.

That memory makes me want to put the guitar away.

But I take a short breath and hold the neck.
但我轻轻吸一口气，握住琴颈。
I play one note, just one clean note.

It sounds okay. That is enough for now.

The fear shrinks when I start small.

Maybe tomorrow I will play two notes.
也许明天我会弹两个音。
I don't need to be good tonight.
今晚我不需要弹得好。
