No one is watching.
Everyone is busy.
Everyone is stressed.
Everyone is living their own lives.
Everyone has a thousand better choices.
Why would they bother reading these words? Why would they bother watching my videos? Why would they bother listening to my music?
How do you break through? Should that be a part of my mental equation, or is it enough to just make things and put them out into the world? I don’t want to become a part of the social media machine. I don’t want to have my attention stolen and my brain constantly manipulated by the algorithm. I don’t want to need those little hits of ‘like’ adrenaline.
If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one around to hear it does it make a sound? If I make something and no one notices does it matter? Who am I doing this for? I want my work to be good. I want my work to matter to someone. I want to make difference. I want this all to have meant something.
When in doubt, make something. Rinse. Repeat.
