I used to be a working musician, have a degree in jazz performance, toured the country and played countless shows.
Due to some terrible events I sort of lost my mind for a bit. Mental collapse. I sold all my stuff and lived in the woods for awhile. Came back when I was so alone I started hallucinating people in the woods looking back at me.
Got a natural sciences diploma. Jumped around a bunch of jobs. I was totally burnt out of music, didn't even play anymore. I rarely played for over a decade.
Just recently I've been getting back into it. I decided to film a musical project idea I had. It was fun, I recorded more.
Now I'm posting them to YouTube and tiktok and I'm getting very positive responses! Someone said it was true art which touched me. Maybe I've wasted a decade not following my dreams or maybe that was the path I was always meant to take but yes, be you, express it to others. Life is too short.
