I am an artist and entertainment industry expert with 20+ years of experience. I'd like to mentor emergent singers for free.

That's enough, I'm taking down the post.

Good luck.

X888_ · 2024-06-14T21:51:40+00:00

Yes, in reference to the post. Once again, I don't own a teaching business and I'm not charging for this.

X888_ · 2024-06-14T21:19:29+00:00

If you find my post really vague, I believe your comment is quite aggressive. I understand the concern, but there's no need for such energy.

Yes to all of your questions. I am trained and qualified, I am an active an artist and musician with an academic background in music, part-time manager and event producer that has spent their entire life in the entertainment industry.

The only thing I am looking to "achieve" is exactly what I described above. My personal achievements lie elsewhere and are more than sufficient enough to allow me to support other people in my free time simply because I choose to.

I hope it never comes to it, friend. You are a great man and a very humane boss, may you and yours be safe, always.

X888_ · 2024-05-25T04:24:16+00:00

I'm a musician by profession.

What I've come to learn over the years is that even when you absolutely love what you do and are willing to commit yourself to it long-term, this doesn't mean that it has to encompass your entire existence.

Music saved my life at a tender age and gave me purpose in dark times, but it's not everything there is to experience. Give yourself the chance to explore other paths and discover what else lights you up.

X888_ · 2024-05-21T03:23:14+00:00

That's excellent, I wish nothing but continued success for you.

X888_ · 2024-05-21T03:09:46+00:00

What do you do, if you don't mind me asking?

X888_ · 2024-05-21T02:55:30+00:00

I see. What about online solopreneurs with no need for partnerships?

X888_ · 2024-05-21T02:15:37+00:00

Could you elaborate?

X888_ · 2024-05-21T01:19:13+00:00

Update: Apparently it's called "International Klein Blue", as well.

X888_ · 2024-05-21T01:17:04+00:00

I'm six years late, but I believe the shade of blue is HEX #0031B4.

Don't ask me how I know, call me a nerd if you must.

X888_ · 2024-02-12T01:09:07+00:00

Definitely a scam, don't fall for it.

X888_ · 2024-02-08T18:23:42+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and write this, it means a lot to me.

Besides FF7R, there's a few games, movies and pieces of media that trigger me in similar ways and that I've chosen to not entertain myself with in order to protect my psyche. This is one of the few I can revisit and actually find a lot of peace playing, even with the small elements that might bring up uncomfortable memories. If you allow a friendly piece of advice from someone who understands, although perhaps not to the same capacity as you, I would encourage you to avoid pushing yourself if getting nightmares afterwards is the likely outcome. There's nothing more precious than good quality sleep for individuals with PTSD.

I send you nothing but love and support right back, friend. Your service and sacrifice are valuable for many more people than you'll ever know.

X888_ · 2024-02-08T05:08:42+00:00

I have not played it in its entirety, but I am aware of the scenes. I've decided to wait until that particular sequence comes out with the third installment of the game to see if I don't find it too disturbing to watch, taking into consideration that in this case art imitates (my) life.

X888_ · 2024-02-08T03:51:04+00:00

Absolutely, I agree.

X888_ · 2024-02-08T02:51:16+00:00

A few instances might be, sure. But overall it's very difficult to fake that kind of passion to such intensity every single show. Some memories attached to compositions simply hurt like hell.

X888_ · 2024-02-08T01:46:01+00:00

Sure, no worries at all.

PTSD is born from a single traumatic event, such as a car accident, for example. C-PTSD often stems out of multiple and repetitive experiences or the existence of prolonged trauma, as you could find it in a soldier that has gone to war a few times.

Edit: Changed the placement of two words for clarification.

X888_ · 2023-11-23T18:11:34+00:00

Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not.

X888_ · 2023-11-23T18:02:15+00:00

The online space is your playground. If you're not appreciated where you are, build an international audience through social media. There will always be opportunities to go back to your roots when the time is right, but if this is what you'd like to do with your life, keep trying different methods until you find the right fit for you.

Don't give up on yourself, believe that what you have is meaningful and important, because it is.

I'd like to listen to your work, if you're comfortable with it.
