I almost gave up on everything I love.

I took a break from making videos and music to regather myself. During my time away from the studio I almost gave up on everything I love including my life itself. So this is an honest video just speaking about my experience as a creative individual and musician who struggles with the ups and downs of being a musician in the journey to becoming successful.

I needed to hear this because I'm going through this exact same thing I swear it's like you read my mind and you're not in this alone believe me..I went from deactivating my social medias.. taking alone time..not knowing if it was ok to be alone part of me wanted it but didn't want it at the same time it was so confusing..not wanting to do music anymore something that I enjoy my mind was just all over the place..not being able to balance my life rather it was things that needed to be done or that I actually enjoyed doing but notice that when you're down some how you eventually almost always come back around and get you back again..I suffer with depression as well but with the world we live in today you have to push yourself and live life again.. you're strong especially for sharing your feelings to the world..I will keep you in my prayers much love and support from over here ✌🏽🙏🏽💗💗💗💗

... and toxic positivity makes people feel like they're always doing something wrong when they're not. So yes, it is very important for these stories to be out there because it's REALITY. I went through this exact feeling of not wanting to do it anymore and took a year off from creating until it felt right to start again and for the right reasons. Taking breaks is very necessary for completing the cycle and then it's possible to come back to what you really want to do with a clear, sharp mind and intention.

[LVEMRE]

Good to see you somewhat back man. Stay strong my brother, you got my number when you just need to chat and interact with someone brother. We can run some apex! Continue to do what you're doing.

[SirDonavin]

that’s real.. I reached that point creatively it’s really easy to slip into

[unbeater]

Sometimes it's helpful to let go of things you love so that we can come across them again later in a much more appropriate way. All the best, you're a good guy!

[wilmoremusic]

You're not alone for sure. I experience the same feelings every week. Thanks for sharing yours

[BAMac]

Yo I'm late to the party, but this hit me at my core. Been wrestling with these same issues on whether I should give it up with algorithm changes with streaming and a whole host of other stumbling blocks with being a musician. Thank you for being transparent and authentic in what you do because you are truly inspiring to those starting out, but also to those of us who've been grinding at it for years. Balance and perspective 🩵🩵🩵

I like how pretty much all of these comments are positive. That should show you that there are still people who like what you do. If we enjoy it then you can too💪

[reesebertrand]

[ceb-onit-music]

[TheGWithin]

Much respect to you for trying to figure things out instead of burying those feelings and blindly grinding along. You’ve got all the talent you need and then some! You’ll get there! 👍

I've been in the same position for a while and took an extended hiatus. I have a lot of respect for you being so transparent about this and it gave me the strength to talk about it myself. I never thought I'd feel that way after all this time but it does happen.

[StuartGrand]

I appreciate the honesty! I was feeling a similar way this past year

[Spasciz]

Thank you for being so transparent!!! I have felt this way lately and I am with you bro!!! I feel like, I am on the journey with you!!! We both will keep going and pushing everyday!!! God bless!!

[christiangabi]

Happy to have you back! "Il y a des jours avec et des jours sans…et les jours sans, il faut faire avec !"
If music is a blessing, you're a blessing to each one of us.
