If I don't fully engage in this and enjoy this process, even if I fail, I'll always regret it if I don't put 100% into it.

Milestones

My road in life has been direct.
When they started the band, they were still in college; had to balance touring and going to class.
Realized that trying to hold on to both school and music was diminishing his enjoyment of both.
Decided he had to go all in on one-chose the band.
Said he had to get rid of the safety net; even if he failed, he had to "fully engage," would "always regret it" if he didn't pursue music.
If you have a passion for art, "it's gonna come out," no matter if you're making a living off it or just doing it as a hobby.
Even though he made a career of what he loves, still gets envious of people who work "at the hardware store," play music for fun.
Keep following my journey
