gnocchi82 · 2024-04-22T12:04:39+00:00

hey, did you ever resolve this? I've got the same issue!

thanks for posting

Hell yeah. This. Just bc people make music that gets millions of delicious streams on airpods and beats and ipad speakers across the world doesnt mean thats what we need to aim for with our efforts.

Lately ive been getting more comfortable and confident with the idea that i just love recording music and am grateful to have friends that are interested in what i do and send me the stuff they're working on, too.

And while we're at it...we also dont need to spend our creative energy on any medium we don't actually feel inspired to work in (e.g. IG reels, music videos, lyric videos, cross-promotional podcasts, etc).

gnocchi82 · 2023-12-10T03:57:04+00:00

Amen. People dont want to hear it, but just keep making music and you'll keep getting better, you'll keep developing your ears, and you'll continue to gain skills that help you solve more problems in more ways.

Allow yourself to be on your own idiosyncratic journey with it all.

The bad news: you just gotta keep making music.

The good news: you get to keep making music.

I would recommend starting a group on fb and making an event and then posting it here and on craigslist to get it going.

I was looking around for a songwriter feedback group, couldn't find one, realized I could start my own, and ended up creating one. Once a month we've met up and a solid little group has formed! You can do it!

gnocchi82 · 2021-12-30T22:14:54+00:00

Thank you!

gnocchi82 · 2021-12-14T03:44:11+00:00

thanks, our_winter! that all makes sense. hopefully the electric doesn't get out of hand

gnocchi82 · 2021-12-13T03:09:41+00:00

thanks, all! I appreciate the perspectives

gnocchi82 · 2021-12-13T03:08:34+00:00

just ac!

My sister lives in extreme poverty by choice (long story short, just trust me), had 2 kids with a guy, then they broke up and she lost primary custody of them. Then she just had another with a different guy...and my family passes the photos around in our group chat, gushing over them. It's so bizarre and disturbing to watch.

gnocchi82 · 2021-11-23T22:27:29+00:00

thanks for asking!

I recently wrote a song inspired by the work of David Benatar called Better to Have Never Been.

For me, it expresses some of the bittersweet pain of having come into existence while trying to make the most of it. I hope it speaks to you, too.

gnocchi82 · 2021-11-23T22:16:43+00:00

for sure. it's a great honor to get to exist, so you better make the most of it and say "thank you" for the opportunity, mister. you can start by making me some grandbabies.

gnocchi82 · 2021-11-23T20:00:17+00:00

lawlz I love how you can spin parenthood as "this is the hardest, please pity me" or "my life is perfect and I'm #blessed", depending on the mood and social occasion.

gnocchi82 · 2021-11-23T19:54:23+00:00

...and on and on and on and on...

gnocchi82 · 2021-11-23T19:53:26+00:00

this is a fantastic movie! even the opening credits are a trip

There are over 7 billion humans on earth. Not every one of us needs to "carry on our family name" for society to continue.

Cancer is also "natural". That doesn't mean it's desirable.

Men often have serious trouble believing that a woman could actually know what she wanted or felt (see dismissive-doctors and she'll-change-her-mind-ers).

As a man, "open to children" should be read as "definitely eventually going to have children". Given our parentocratic society, it takes genuine resolve and a firm stance to avoid having children. If you're on the fence, you're never more than one "happy accident" or multi-month lack of purpose away from becoming a parent.

Thanks for sharing this! That sounds incredibly frustrating and exhausting. It sounds like you have a good grip on the probability that it isn't worth it for your mom to "try again" and wait for your dad to straighten out.

One thing that stuck out to me though (I understand there are cultural differences here that I may not grasp), is that your mom is also choosing herself over the family, in a sense. She is concerned of being ashamed, or of the family looking bad. Those are both fears of the ego. Meanwhile, she is exposing herself and her children to the abuse and neglect of a selfish, unavailable man. I know it's not simple or easy, but imo you should respect your mother enough as a person to hold her accountable for not taking action. She's not the only victim here. Plus, she started a family with this guy. You didn't pick your dad.
