🎹✨ Piano Was My First Language

By Eisya

I’ve been playing the piano since I was six. It started as a hobby, turned into a passion, and for a while… it felt like my whole identity. The sound of keys, the feeling of getting lost in a song — it was my escape, my comfort zone, my language.

But sometimes, even the things you love the most can leave scars. Because of a personal experience that left me hurt, I distanced myself from music. The trauma made it hard to play the same way again. So instead of chasing a music path, I found myself in Mass Communication a space that let me rediscover my voice, just in a different way.

Even though I’m not pursuing music full-time, piano will always be my first love. It shaped who I am. And maybe one day, when it feels right, I’ll sit down and play again  not for grades or stages, just for me 🤍

And if you’re wondering what song still brings me comfort... it’s “Howl’s Moving Castle” by Joe Hisaishi 🎶 There’s something about that melody that feels like home. No matter what, it always finds its way back to my heart.
