maybe it's time for me to move on.

I'm running out of opportunities to stand out.
I feel doomed to a life of mediocrity and anonymity.

Maybe I should switch to tuba this year. I had planned to do it next year, but I'm quickly losing excitement for being in the baritone section. It could be fun. But it could also be a term of hell, which I want to avoid if it kills me.

Katie won't be happy. But maybe it's time I stopped pleasing other people.
