You read the subject.

I’ve unfortunately gotten to a point where I feel like I’m pouring way too much of my time into this.

Part of this feeling comes from unrealistic expectations I set for myself. I want to do the best I can and show what I can do with my production skillset. I still have a lot to learn. I love getting feedback and working off of that, but sometimes I let it get too far into my head. This makes it pretty uncomfortable to work knowing I need to take the steps outside of what I’m used to.

Another part is that I want more people to see my stuff. Obviously newgrounds doesn’t have a humongous presence compared to things like Spotify, but these websites also serve different purposes. Newgrounds is an amazing place where people like me can make connections and make a few songs while I do that.

Lastly, I finished college and got my degree. I want to pursue this hobby complimentary to what my education has earned me. I want to thrive here and that requires a lot more time and effort. This obviously takes away time I would have to make music. In turn, I lose out on quality of my music because I’m in such a rush to put something out there (knowing it’s not my best work).

For those who do actually see my music and show some love, I’m forever grateful for you. I will keep making music in the hopes I reach a bigger audience. Who knows, one day I might wake up and something changes. For now, I will keep my head up high, back straight, chest out, and my eyes on the prize. Thank you loyal listeners for being my biggest supporters. I’m excited for what comes next.
