^^It is wonderful to be able to pick up an instrument and be able to take myself to a nicer place. Talent? Hmm, guess you'd have to ask some people that I've inflicted my noises on! 
Actually, I think a lot of people get put off making music because they worry too much about the "talent" idea. When done purely for it's own pleasure, I don't find it any less satisfying because I can't play my bass as well as Jaco Pastorius, or drum like Buddie Rich. If the noise you make gives you pleasure, expresses how you feel, or gives a sense of relief, then IMHO you're a musician.

that's reassuring then
I can call myself a musician even though I don't quite sound like one. I like to tell myself i'm "on a musical journey."

I wonder if anybody else here likes wearing heavy clothing?I like wearing heavy clothing. Makes me feel centered and cozy, and better able to keep track of all of my limbs.
