Have you ever had to sacrifice relationships for music?
Okay so I value relationships a lot but I also don’t think they should be your whole life. I believe in being independent and having your own passions. I’m not a hobbyist. I am eventually pursuing a full time career in music and I want to be signed to a label or making it work independently but I want to be a professional….so in order to get there it’s a lot. I grind on socials and make content daily. Live-streaming planning shows making videos and graphics recording writing etc. I do it all….i am a solo artist with a band of hired guns so its all on me really. I’m seeing a ton of success and the universe seems to be supporting me. In two years I have built a catalogue of 32 songs, a full length album, a handful of sold out shows and about 50,000 followers across socials starting from nothing. I’m inspired to keep going. The problem is…dating is getting tough. I was single for about 8 months and then I decided to jump back in and now I’m finding there’s little time….im working my 9-5 and then coming home to do music stuff. I’m dating someone relatively normal who wants to work. Watch tv. Eat food. Chill. Play bar games. Watch sports. And to me it sometimes feels like a lot of time wasted. I love being around them and we’ve only been going out for a month but I’m starting to feel like I have to choose between music and finding love. If I really wanna be successful. I feel like there’s no time to be sitting around on my ass or giving my energy to things that don’t serve my highest passion. But idk. I’m not a big family person. I don’t want kids. My values have changed a lot since I fell in love with music. Idk curious if you had to sacrifice relationships or friendships or other things to make it work and make it successful.
