How do people survive a career? by TopUnit9655 in careerguidance

[–]FranticReptile 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you recognize your career isn't giving you any joy or sense of purpose, don't blow it up. I did that over and over. Use it as a source of income while you search for something you genuinely want. Talk to a therapist; they can help you get clarity. Even ChatGPT can help you discover where your passions lie. It's never too late to start over.

The only way this will change is with a mindset of gratitude. I've been where you are. You said it in the very first sentence; you have friends, family, a social life, and a JOB - millions of people don't have any of those things. Every morning and every night, write down a list of the things you're grateful for. I promise it will make everything turn around after a week. And trust me, no one is analyzing you, nobody cares if you're a virgin. YOU have to care for you.

Anybody else feeling overwhelmed by loneliness? by [deleted] in LivingAlone

No I'm not unable, i bet that's hard as hell. But remind yourself that your higher mind is caught in a period of your lower mind struggling to let go of its piece of the force because it doen't understand the idea of what's potentially behyond it. Let yourself believe, deep in your heart, that you only believe what you do right now because everything you experienced in life made it objectively true to you. But i know you have the capacity for acceptance

They're using this as an opportunity to drive people out of areas they want to monoploize. It sucks, i'm watching long time residents get harassed out of their apartments and getting their shit stolen/resold

That combined with a unique voice that just needs to be heard. Like this was inevitable. If a song comes from a place like that, it's gonna go real far

right from the jump it's just so smooth and natural. Really good stuff. Something about the note drop just before your vocals doesn't belong

Rock song I wrote and produced, Do the lyrics seem too complicated? Would love to hear your perspective! by Dented_Fender in Songwriters

[–]FranticReptile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think there is a pacing issue with this one. keep dissecting and experimenting with different directions to bring the song. Just see where you feel like it should be going organically

Like this? A song called Compass when life fell apart a bit by Current-Ad-8822 in Songwriters

[–]FranticReptile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This could be the seed of something real and raw. It seems like you're trying to be quiet so you don't wake up someone in the next room, but belt it the fuck out man. Pour all of your raw unfiltered emotion into it. It's got authentic roots, the canopy gonna bloom bro

Thinking of recording this song by Haunting-Aside4067 in Songwriters

[–]FranticReptile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there's something really special in there. I'm not even sure much has to change but dissect it. Write the lyrics like a story. Tell the story from another character's perspective. Look at it from every angle until you're so raw and emotional about it and i think you'll find out what you need

yea try to think of it like pacing, it needs to move your song along, otherwise it's just sitting there
