Lowkey i know some musicians and especially jazz musicians go baby wah wah mode when you bring up Whiplash, but that movie is the perfect cautionary tale of making your world music. If music is your whole thing, then the priviledge of being able to create, no matter if it makes money or not, should be able to drive you and also give you time to relax and focus on living outside the music bubble
I'm a serious musician and i only lost friends due to them ego tripping, backstabbing, or death (those were dear ones), and the ones i appreciated the most are some kind of con artist/philosophers or psychologists nowadays, horrible ppl. Never downplayed My syblings or My closest friends due to music. I can talk about guitars til year 2300, but i ve lived and struggled a lot, so life on itself with all it's turns had rounded me for the better, and got a lot of experience on many other topics. Only time i did lose good times with as many dear ppl as i could was due to girlfriends or sexcapades, never due to music. And i did realized My mistake and how self absorbed i was that it didnt cost me badly just cause we're talking about really loyal ppl who watch me go and get back, and there they were as always. So im a rehabilitated egotist, but music saved My life, the guitar was the only thing i could hold on to that convinced me to give life another shot when i lost three kids. Life without music sucks dick, man. But other things in life are worth noticing, dealing with, and lived while we can, indeed. So phuck those ppl that isolate themselves in order to become serious musicians. Thats a phony s premise, since most of them will have to deal with ppl and play for audiences and get criticized and get shit and all that good stuff regular humans have to put up. There s no escape or way to avoid life, let alone stopping the inevitability of it passing by while time s getting us behind lil by lil, slowly but surely. I learnt that being a musician s a cardinal conviction i have, and that i defend, strive at, and go hand in hand through time no matter what, but My personality and the ppl that made me who i am and the ones that treasure My existence, them all are SACRED, even if i don't succeed on My musical endeavors, at least the way i envisioned i could. So, i don't regret nothing, so far, and also try My hardest to not take ppl for granted. Just don't be a stranger.
somehow, the YT algorithm knows i've been obsessing over making a new album and suggested me this video lol. And you're right, if you get too far deep into it, you're fucked
To be honest, if I meet any artist in music or any famous sportman in sports, or wathever the case, I would only wanna know about his or her field, I don't care about anything else

If you don’t have other things in life, then you have nothing to make music about.
