Starting Guitar Made Me Cry Silently Inside...

I started playing guitar recently, and it's going pretty well. But the truth is, I kind of fibbed to my friends about how long I've been practicing when we're all together. See, every time they ask me how many hours a day I practice, I say three hours just so they think I'm committed. In reality, it's usually more like an hour or two if I have the energy that day... It makes me feel bad because I know it isn't honest, but I want them to see me as dedicated and passionate... Maybe one day I'll tell them the truth, but until then, it feels like a little secret I'm keeping from myself.
