I recently told myself “My current project is standing in the way of all the cool future projects I want to do.” For some reason looking at the project I didn’t want to do as a bottle neck getting in the way, made it was easier to finish.

I remember when I first started my YT channel, I was OBSESSED with creating, recording and editing videos. I did it for the mere fact of discovery and expression. But something changed along the way, and now as an entrepreneur and content creator, I find it really hard to separate my “work” from “financial validation.” Your videos inspire me to go back to the roots of my creativity and create from there. Thank you.

I've always admired how to you're able to directly point out creative challenges that by their very nature, are difficult to capture and explain. I am in a 9-5 that is excellent financially, but leaves no time for creativity. But you explained so well, that by re-framing the limits of my 9-5, I can actually turn it into an structure of creativity. Also, I love the little smiles when you were talking to the camera, for me they showed a warmth and 'knowingness' of the topic first hand. Like someone who is giving you advice and smiling as they remember themselves struggling with the very thing they're giving advice about.

i have: 2 albums that are almost finished (but have been in the state of "almost finished" for months and months) that i've been working on for almost 2 years now. 1 album that is almost finished that's been worked on for maybe a year, and has also been in the state of "almost finished" for months. 2 albums with clear concepts being worked on, and decent progress is being made to their completion 3 albums with clear concepts that are like only half being worked on because i'm aware that i need to focus on the ones closest to being finished i am gravely misusing my energy i have only releases 1 album, and that's most likely because it's entire creation was with friends, so i didn't hold myself to many standards and just wanted to excecute the ideas we head

Huge lover of your content man, insanely helpful, well thought out and put together. I had a bit of feedback that I'm curious if I was the only one who noticed - as a long time watcher of your videos I remember the days of just the straight on camera, and for some reason the introduction of cutting back and forth from front to side camera while you're talking can be a bit jarring and pulls me out of the video somewhat. Something about the perspective shifting going from first to third person and back unpredictably. It's been sticking in the back of my brain the last few videos, wanted to point it out and see if it's just me. Appreciate the videos a bunch, they've been really helpful on my creative journey 🙏

And once you start finishing projects you realize the B-Side of the myth... the 'movie credits' don't roll and it's never enough. If you're a maker, a creator, you're in for life.

My issue is, taking too many big projects frm different industry people at the same time. I CANT say no because i believe "this one will open more doors" each time. But it hinders the previous project's progression. Plus on top, my perfectionism, job and other things... It's really really tough trying to reach 'each' finish line.

I just looked at one of your tracks on your KZbin. Bruh if yo butt don’t drop some more heat. I’m going to jump through your screen and force you to drop. But I feel you on having too many projects. I have a bunch that am at a stuck point. Atleast we all know we’re not alone.

I dig what you're saying here. Maybe it's a case of trying to say no more - but when you're actually building a career from your music, I understand that need for balance. Thanks for dropping this piece of your story, and keep in touch.

Having loads of projects on the boil at once is such a classic, especially in music I feel.

turn to Jesus Christ he loves all of us more than anything and he literally died for us. He took in the punishment for our sins thru on the cross. It wasn’t cuz we deserved it, but cuz he loved us. 1 John 4:10 “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins” it was thru his love that he died for us and we can be forgiven

Organized religion is brainwashing garbage. I refuse to believe in a god that was for slavery, including the breeding of slave babies for eternal servitude. Horrible, evil stuff.
