But you know what? I keep creating and sharing. I know a few people like what I create. That works for me. It’s enough. I’m not trying to get a zillion followers. Just connect with a few people, and maybe leave a record of what I’ve made. For my kids, or whoever might care.
I think that people shouldn’t judge things by what everyone<\/em><\/strong> thinks and likes. Everything is subjective, and what everyone<\/em><\/strong> thinks is great, rarely is. Life should be about what YOU<\/em> like. What brings YOU<\/em> joy. Who cares what everyone<\/em><\/strong> likes?
Besides, everyone<\/em><\/strong> knows that the best things in life are the secrets that hardly anyone<\/em><\/strong> knows about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe come back with solutions instead of opinions. Because of the two, only solutions actually matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If I judged my music by the reaction I get on social media, I’d quit making music.
