You chose this. Music did not choose you. You might have chosen it such a long time ago that you’ve forgotten and you think it music must have chosen you but it didn’t.
And a career in music is certainly a heavy weight to carry.
But it is not a burden. It is not some misfortune. It was not attached to you at birth.
But if we’re looking for purpose and fulfillment we need to carry weight…and music and creativity is an honorable weight to put on your shoulders.
