I play piano. I've always hated expressing my feelings verbally, so piano allows me to express my feelings without having to discuss them with anyone. This works well for me, because I still get to express myself, but nobody else can interpret exactly what I'm feeling, and it helps me to feel completely in control of my emotions. There are certain times when music doesn't help and I really do have to express myself verbally, but I've gotten much better at this, and my boyfriend has been excellent at listening and helping me sort through my feelings.
