a misunderstanding

Written by Hilary hahn on Mon Dec 16 2024

It's been a few weeks since that misunderstanding with my love. He had asked me to stop playing the violin and cuddle with him, but I completely misunderstood his intentions. In that moment, all I could think about was how much joy and comfort the violin brings me, how it allows me to express myself in ways words never could. So when he made that simple request, I felt torn between two loves - him and music.

I couldn't bear the thought of setting aside my beloved instrument for even a moment. It felt like betraying a part of myself, denying who I truly am at my core. And so instead of understanding his need for physical closeness and emotional connection, I stubbornly held onto my violin as if it were a lifeline.

Looking back now, I realize how selfish and shortsighted I was being. Love is about compromise and communication; it's about finding balance between our passions and our relationships. My love simply wanted to feel close to me in that moment, to share an intimate embrace without any distractions or barriers between us.

But in my own insecurities and fears of losing what defines me as an artist, I failed to see beyond myself. And for that, I deeply regret causing any hurt or confusion.

Since then we've talked things through more openly than ever before - sharing our feelings honestly without judgment or blame. We've found new ways to connect on deeper levels while still honoring each other's individual passions. And most importantly we've learned just how important it is not only listen but also hear one another fully

I'm grateful for this experience because despite the initial pain it has brought us closer together strengthened our bond in ways we never imagined possible Now whenever he asks m stop playing, the violin cuddling becomes sweet reminder of growth understanding our relationship continues thrive amidst misunderstandings challenges faced
