One Great Dream
Republish of my favorite <3
Hello.
I'm about to dive deep. If you don't care to listen to my thoughts then I suggest you stop reading.
It's been about 4-5 good months of no music written. I've come back to say goodbye.
For the longest time, starting in middle school, my passion was to write meaningful music. I was inspired to make something people would listen to and be transported to a different place. Starting off I learned a lot from other really talented composers on here as most do. It was really amazing to see that there's no limit to musical creativity in the Flat community. I had a long time of composing and communicating music shazam on here, being the peak of my day sometimes. But going into high school I got busier and realized that there's more to life that's just as meaningful and beautiful as any music that can be composed.
I believe somewhere in the back of my mind, if I really tried, I could start composing again. But at some point, I had to realize that maybe it's... not writer's block?
Don't get me wrong, sure I composed a few good pieces that I'm quite proud of. Although I personally believe I just don't have that drive to keep continuing to write (mediocre) music. Most of you would agree that becoming a goat at composing takes time. You can't really take a 6-month hiatus and then come back to write something astounding in 2 hours. (maybe YOU can, but you're just special)
I acknowledge that to some it may sound like I'm quitting, and I think that that's okay.
It's true that you can do anything you put your mind to... or is it?
Many people dream of becoming a singer or becoming a pro athlete, but those dreams don't always come true. Why is that? It's because some things aren't meant to be. We were each born with special gifts and abilities that if nurtured, can become something amazing.
This is incredibly cringy in some parts but I'm just that type of person. :D
Anyway, I'm leaving. I think you got my message ;)
Best of luck to you all.
