A thought for you:  People are craving authenticity. With the rise of social media, AI, and remote work, people are more separated and scripted than ever. On the short end, it may seem hopeless. However, if you want long-term success (whatever that may look like for you), then take advantage of the MASSIVE opportunity before you. Use your life experiences to write songs and explore your imagination to compose epic themes. Continue to make music that's moving and motivating.
