sometimes i feel like i'm struggling trying to reconcile different philosophies of people i admire. like (some cool musician i admire) said in an interview that art should be about things that you can't express with words, but then i watch (some cool musician i admire) talk about how songs should be simple, etc, etc... I write music and every time i make a decision all i can thing is "X wouldn't do that" or "Y said they never do this" and it keeps me from getting things out on the page. i guess the solution is to just develop my own ideas, but what gives me the authority to do that?
you exist, just like those other people
