How hard is playing the piano? I want to buy a keyboard and play music with piano sheets, any advice?
I've only learned the piano for a little bit when I was 8, but I want to pick it up again on my own, I'm wondering if I should do it.

if you want to play the piano but plan on buying a keyboard, make sure you get one that has weighted keys like a piano, otherwise the touch will be too light and it will be like playing keyboard and not the piano.
sheet music flash cards are good for reading. run some scales and do finger exercises. have someone go over proper positioning while you practice at least at first. i wouldn't go too much on my own tho. as you get better you'll want to make sure you don't get any bad habits in playing.

If you feel like learning...please go ahead with it.
If you have doubts...then don't spend too much on a new keyboard / piano.
If you have learnt before, do you already own an instrument? If yes, I suggest you learn on that even if it is quite old...or may be get yourself a used one. See how it goes for a few months and then buy a better one.

Why not? Anyone can pick it up at any age, you just need to practice as much as you can in order to get to a good level quickly. Everyone has to start somewhere when learning an instrument, how do you think Beethoven and Mozart learnt their instrument? It's not like people are born with a specialty on one particular instrument, they all need to go through the same things as everyone else does when learning the instrument. If you aren't sure if you are going to like it or not, then I would suggest hiring a keyboard to start with, just incase you find it's not what you were after.
