there's a few games out there w/ soundtracks penned by me, a couple of them even on Steam. and i think that's the point where i can't even recognize why i want to make music anymore. sometimes i'll write a really cool loop i can bop to for a while but never full minutes-long song

If you ever find yourself thinking “If I just work hard enough, it’ll stop hurting”, it’s time to check yourself. That plan never works. Take care of yourself. It’s taking me a long time to undo the damage. I’m still not there, even if I have made some progress.
