Recording Diary, Day 11 - Day 16
As wonderful as things might seem since I began updating this recording diary for my debut album, the honest truth is that I'm struggling underneath the surface.
I've come to the realization that I'd rather starve as a composer than to go back to that depressing cycle of working a dreadful nine-to-five job, just to keep myself fed so I can continue to do the same unsatisfying work the next day. I'll spare the feeling of a boss micromanaging my every move, putting pressure on me, causing me to stare at the ceiling in bed at night, wondering...
If I'm going to lose sleep, I'd rather it be because I am consumed with writing new music.
As a result of my desire to release an album within the next year, I may be on the verge of learning the true meaning of sacrifice. At least I know that I'll be left with a sense of purpose, which to me, is extremely rewarding.
