Q: i'm having a hard time finding music that feels as genuine and expressive as your songs. everything else that i am aware of pales in comparison so i end up not listening to a lot of other music. sometimes i really feel like i should stop paying attention to your art. it feels addicting. it feels like it's getting worse too. i continue to get less and less interested in all the music i thought i liked and can't seem to find anything else that makes me feel that way. what do you do if you find yourself unhealthily obsessed like this??
A: you might have to make your own music, which is a huge responsibility if your standards are wicked high, so that means 2 things: 1 you'll have to realize that even i am drastically falling short of anyone's high standards, and, 2, you can realize that every other artist is too. suddenly that leads to a breakthrough, as you realize you actually love everyone
