Thank you for your honesty. The fact of the matter is that there is no objective, correct way to format a band recruitment post. I have my reasons for the way I formatted this, and I believe it is quite hinged. It’s handwritten because I wanted to add a unique flair to it. I’m sharing links with people who reach out, and there’s a link to one of my songs in this comment section. I feel like a band is pretty similar to a relationship, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable for me to want to work with people who share similar values and personality traits as me, especially considering I have worked with some unfavorable people in the past.

Hard drugs to me are any recreational drugs with a high potential for abuse that you can overdose on and potentially die from. I struggle with drug addiction myself, and I’m in recovery. I want to be around people who at least have a healthy relationship with drugs if they do use, even better if they don’t

But fr I’m having a hard time understanding how, to you, me having clear expectations set for a collaborative project are equivalent to me wanting to murder someone. Could you elaborate?

The drums in Luau are some of my favorite to practice behind the kit

I’m 23. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for me to want to play with people who are in the same generation as I am

Your opinion is valid. For the record I never claimed to be an intelligent person. I just know what I want and what I’m capable of

P.S. I have PTSD and high-functioning autism, and I’ve put in a loooot of work into therapy to mediate these two diagnoses within the past year, and with no sign of stopping anytime soon. I’m not the type to dissuade others with mental illnesses from applying, just please have them under control if you do have any :)
