“Im having trouble committing to my artwork (music).. i know its good and i have it in me, but i cant focus and trust myself enough to call something finished again after 5 years of noodling around.. instead i find myself working under duress, self imposed stress, fear of failure, rejection, fear of banality.. and i ignore it all so often by doing things that dont make me feel good or inspire my work... wasting away online, dopamine binging, etc.. and then i spiral in the cycle and negative self thought.. any ideas would be great”

Hey we all feel that. I am also a musician so I get it... Get off the social media, put your phone down, turn it off after 5pm. You will get back to true inspiration, you just gotta stop being so hard on yourself

You're not going to run out of ideas if you just call something done and move on to making another song. Publish or perish.
