My name is Mackenzie. I am an addict.

I'm addicted to playing violin. You'd probably say it's good but here are the down sides:
-carpal tunnel syndrome
-insane back problems
-inability to move my neck for 10 minutes after I play
-calloused fingertips
-painful fingertips
-hand cramps
-forearm cramps
-shoulder problems
-eye problems from staring at the music
-lack of motivation for other things

I've been staying after school almost every day to practice and then I practice more when I get home. Despite all the pain, I keep playing. I can't stop...
I've played trough Chaconne at least 6 times today. It's a 20 minute long piece. That's two hours of just that song. I think I'll stop for the night. I've been playing since 3. That's almost 6 hours.
