Q: I am working on a project with two people, a producer and a rapper, and I think the music is good enough to become successful and I'm really really excited. But I can't help but dread that people won't think it's nearly as good as we do. What do I do to combat this dread? It's making me think I could be insane because I love the music so much, but what if people don't like it and it doesn't get to reach as many ears as I want it to? Maybe I'm overthinking and I shouldn't care? Love your stuff, you inspire me every day
A: a good way to avoid this feeling is to do much more stuff, at a more rapid pace. and do it all by yourself so that way you don't have the awkwardness of looking anyone else in the eye and contemplating how much or little you are succeeding. no one has to know, until it's already worked
