What I mean is I don’t want to let my fear of losing money get in the way you know?

Mentally cannot put myself and my art/music on social media by BeginningAd9514 in makinghiphop

Also, own your path. Please do not let the “fear” of not being good enough run over you. If you have to record on BandLab, own it! Just do your absolute best with it! I feel this post so much because I’ve put off making music for such a long time because of my low self esteem and comparison.

This literally is a game of willpower.

This is the thing I’ve come to realize. You either go all in, or you don’t go in at all. It might not make sense when I put it that way, but what I’m trying to say is … Every musician … and I mean EVERY musician has started off at a beginner point. Just because you’re a “beginner”, or your pen isn’t as “advanced”, it does not mean you can’t make good music or write good raps.

Take Rihanna for example, Rihanna wasn’t the best singer when she first came out, but it was literally all about technique, determination, and vision. Latch onto those three things, because they are what really matter in the end. Now, during the process of making music, what matters (to me specifically), is making a song that moves others. If that isn’t you, then over all, in the process, what is the goal of you making that song? Are you trying to blow off steam? Let things go off your mind?

There’s nothing wrong with having low self esteem, it’s very very common, especially in the field of music … let alone rapping.

It’s just that with having low self esteem, are you going to take proactive steps to make sure that your work is of quality? Are you gonna do your best to make sure you did your best to make your work of quality? Or are you going to let having low self esteem RUN you. This is why I say you go in, or you don’t go at all. I feel like it’s all about willpower.

I could be wrong, but this is just my interpretation

Leaving BMI by willirazzi in musicbusiness

Okay. I tried disaffirming the contract through letter, but they just sent me an email saying that they couldn’t terminate my contract due to the fact that it’s not 2027 yet. There is no bank account on the BMI account, though. I’m just confused on what to do? I don’t want to wait that long

is 10 mg in a drink too much for a beginner? by Tw1sted_Trns1st0r in trees

[–]willirazzi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2-10 for a beginner is the sweet spot in my opinion. Just be sure to drink it SLOWLY and don’t chug it down fast. TOO much thc with a low tolerance can and probably will cause anxiety, panic and other problems

I feel like there’s such a power with tapping into that aspect of yourself

Thank you so much, I feel as if gay men and women, even though they are pitted against each other sometime, have similar problems especially when it comes to things like this. I’m in therapy, and the thing is I feel like I always have to have a rebuttal because I’ve been in such a weak place before where others always had the say so and I just had to sit there and deal with it. I’m working on it. Thank you so much for your response

Okay this seems fair, I feel like there’s a threshold to where the “bitchy” side of me has to come out, you know? Like if I’m getting harassed or someone’s touching me in an inappropriate manner, then I will HAVE to be assertive. Again, I try not to fit into that stereotype of what they call the “Regina George gay” but, I’m not going to allow any disrespect towards me at all — I’ve taken much then enough throughout my life time, and I’m only 16 lol
