yup i'm chch based!! returning to the initial joy of creating is a constant battle, especially when you're balancing it with trying to further a music career, trying to play shows and break even, also wanting to be validated by everyone else, looking at your own streaming numbers... sometimes that stressful stuff is necessary but sometimes it's also pointless!! figuring out a way to find enjoyment and purpose without regard to success i think is important (and also maybe the best path to success??? i dunnno i'm not successful haha)
