Out Of My Element

I'm not musically inclined and it depresses me. Today a couple of my friends and I went out to eat and to the mall. We ended up going into a music store. Talk about someone not feeling like they belong. Two of my friends can play instruments: one the guitar the other the keyboard and countless other things. I have had a guitar sitting in my room for about five years. The strings are rusted and there is a layer of dust on it an inch thick. It's sad I know but I have never learned to play it. I tried to teach myself I bought books and everything it just didn't work because I had no idea where to begin. At the time there was only one person that I knew of that lived close by that could teach me how to play. Unfortuately he was 4 years older and my mother didn't like the way he looked at me. I admit he was pretty creepy and he had a habit of staring at me. I wish he had been normal. I want to learn how to play my guitar but I know I can't teach myself because I have no natural talent like some, I have to have someone show me. That opportunity has never presented itself. Until now. My friend says she's going to teach me before we go off to college in separate states. Maybe then I won't feel like I'm out of my element when I walk into a music store.
