For anyone chasing a dream like me, the best advice i can give you…
Work hard and make your art undeniable.
You may not win the popularity contests but year after year they have to respect and include you because the work is undeniable.
They will see you. I promise.
Almost everybody you meet is either repeating a generational trauma or breaking the cycle. Pain travels down through families until someone is ready to feel it and heal it. When you heal yourself, you heal your lineage.
Give a f*ck about your peace
This will help you steer clear of unproductive arguments, vain talks, energy-sucking discussions, and unprolific gossip.
And the cherry on top?
You won't indulge in backbiting, spewing hatred, or getting into heated arguments that lead to nowhere.
