i used to write songs a lot when i was in high school and loved it and thought they were pretty good. but i got disillusioned when i met people who have way more music theory knowledge, and are more accomplished at instruments/better singers than me. and now as an adult it feels too late to go back to it, and when i try to secretly write something i often end up thinking i'm just a dumbass and give up. but i really do miss it and wish i could write songs again. any advice?
you can. just do it
