His next stage in life had helped him in many ways.
His new position had brought him a sense of confidence and pride. He now lived with a certainty of what his role was in life. He had a decent job and plenty of cash in his pockets. With his first paycheck from work, he’d purchased his first guitar.
He’d gone into a local guitar shop after work specifically to buy a guitar. There hadn’t been a doubt in his head that he wouldn’t walk out of the store with a guitar. After looking for just a short while in the shop, he’d met his future. He picked it up and looked at it. It’d seemed familiar to him. The orange and red colors of the Fender Sunburst appealed to him right away. The guitar had felt comfortable in his hands, yet very awkward. At this point, he still hadn’t known how to actually play the guitar. He’d known somehow that he would someday play. He put the guitar back on its’ stand and continued to pass along the wall of guitars. After a short time, he’d found himself holding the Fender Sunburst once again. Without an ounce of hesitation, he’d purchased the guitar. He’d gone to his dad’s to show him his new purchase.
X knelt on the floor and had opened the guitar case revealing it as his dad had watched on with eager eyes.
“Nice guitar”, he said to X.
“Now you’ve got to learn how to play it!”
“I’ll learn,” said X. “I’ll learn.”
