Okay so I'm REALLY ticked off right now. A dear friend of mine has a crush, and I think it's cute. So she wanted to write a song for him for Christmas, and she kept asking for my help on writing a song (despite her "grade eight in music theory") and I kept helping her out, and she asked me to play bass for the song, and I agreed, because she's a good friend of mine I've known for a long while. And she wound up asking me to even write one for her that she could use, I agreed.

And in the very end when I told her I had something done all she had to say was "no thanks I have something"...

This was like spitting in my face. I invest so much of my time into writing music, learning music, performing music, listening to music, learning my instruments, I can pretty well off say that music is a massive part of my life. And when she said "no thanks I have something" (without even listening to what I had come up with) it was telling me "you're no good at what you love because you don't have your grade eight in music, and I don't even have to hear what you wrote to know this."

I like to think that what I came up with sounded rather pretty, but I'm not the most sure if what I like is what people like. so I showcased the guitar and bass part I had written, to a few other friends (who actually was willing to listen to it and give it a chance)and they all liked it to at least some degree, so now I feel better about what I wrote, but I've lost pretty well off all respect for that "friend" who not only did not give it a chance as a person who asked for it, but also did not even give it a chance as a friend.
