I'm used to anxiety and panic, but I'm not typically prone to self-deprecating thoughts. Today I woke up wondering if all my friends have been faking it, which is ridiculous, but I can't stop thinking it anyway.
I've gotten a lot of production ideas from it, but the unexpected thing I also got is validation that the creators I Iook up to are using the tools and processes and employing the same help that I do.
Listening to musicians dissect the individual components of their work, the thoughts they were having, and the people they depended on is so intimate. Making and publishing art is such an act of vulnerability.
If I talk to you more on social media platforms than in IMs, that's normal. That's how I've come to interact. It's not what I prefer, but it's what I do now.
I think I give off the impression that I flourish in social environments because I have a lot of friends, but the truth is I hardly ever talk to 98% of them because I'm afraid of our conversations will fall into boring small talk territory and I'll give off the impression I have nothing interesting to say.
