I want to tell you about something strange that's been going on. I know, weird right? Something strange has been happening to me here, but it's only been positive thus far, so I can't complain?
Let me start by saying this... As you know, I dabble in music. Part of me genuinely believes that music seems to resonate with everyone and everything somehow. It helps me ████ time when I'm bored, and I tend to get bored very easily around here since... the tech I do have is utter garbage. I only really know piano, and am mostly self taught. Typically, I found it was a good way to relieve some of the weight from my shoulders--//--//--
--//--//--I have this dinky little child's keyboard that I kept from eons ago, and I mess with it every now and then when I have nothing else to do. Sometimes, I get sick of trying to mess with the gear I have to use, and I'll just sit and plunk the keys, or even try and remember old songs from the past.
--//--//--one night, after a particularly boring session of tinkering with my computer, I got ashamedly frustrated with it, and went to sit by that kiddy keyboard. I don't remember what I played, but it sounded somber, and playing wasn't even helping me feel better at that point. I grew mad at the chintzy quality of the sound coming from that keyboard. They usually made me laugh, but that night it all just sounded ridiculous to me. I remember wishing that I owned something much better, like a nice upright piano, or even a grand. I got sick of it real fast, and just went to bed simmering.

--//--//--slept poorly, and woke up the next day in the afternoon. I peeked outside, and the sky was foul. It's been an ugly sight for so long now, but that day was just disgusting. I didn't think an already bleak and depressing atmosphere could feel even worse... --//--
I usually check my door for any kind of delivery in the afternoon--//--so as soon as I opened my door, it hit something hard on the other side--//--I was annoyed and confused, so I peeked my head outside of my door.
I saw this large shape blocking my door, covered in some kind of thick blanket. The blanket was incredibly damp from the rain. I looked closer, and--//--No ████ing way.
I realized--//--full-sized grand piano, draped with a protective cloth blanket--//--the legs on wheels with locks on them that could be adjusted.
I was blown away. How did this get here? Did someone leave this for me? If so, how did they get it here without making any noise? I still have questions, but I just felt so excited too. It was like receiving a gift for the holidays, and I almost thought I forgot what that feeling was.
I--//--attempted to move it, and the wheels moved smoothly. I have a decent amount of room in my place, but I had no fathomable idea how I was gonna get it through the door.
As I thought that, I blinked, and then before I knew it, I was on the ground.
I was holding onto the piano, but it was suddenly gone, and that's why I fell. I stood up, scraped and confused. I was pissed, but mainly kind of disappointed. Some sense of childlike wonder in me was honestly excited to just suddenly have this thing gifted to me, but it's suddenly gone. Is the Universe playing a prank on me?
--//--walked back inside, soaked from head to toe, and feeling upset. As I made my way back to my room with a towel, I jumped.
The piano was now in my house, taking up the far right corner of my room, and a seat that matched it was pulled up, as if it was prepared for me to sit and play.
The protective cover was removed, and the piano itself seemed to be completely untouched by the rain. I put my hand on it, and it was perfectly dry. As I put my hand on the piano, I felt something I can only describe as internally cosmic. I felt a rush of emotions and thoughts run through my mind and body, and I'll--//--all of what I remember--//--
fears world siphon tones basking sky insight essence purity sounds
trifle weather brain forgiveness
--//--and those are just some.
The next thing I knew, I was sitting at the keys, and I was playing something... peaceful. I felt calm and content. It sounded so beautiful. Ṯ̝e̡̱a͈͚r͇̹s̯͚ were running down my face and I didn't notice it for a while.
Later that night, I went to bed feeling like I had purged all of my troubles away--//--

--//--woke up feeling the best I've felt in ages. I looked outside the window, and for the first time in what seemed like forever, the sky was lovingly lit with a great shade of periwinkle. The sun was shining at me, and I almost went blind from staring in disbelief.
I still can't believe it. This all sounds like some kind of old fantasy tale, and I sound like I'm out of mind, but I assure you that this has all happened. The piano is still here, and I've been playing it each night.
I thought I would let you know what has been happening, and hopefully keep you posted, if this reaches you. I can only explain what I myself can grasp, and everything has been exceedingly odd lately, but I feel reinvigorated. Please respond if you ge--//--//--//--This is--//--Second--//--//--//--//--//--
