Remember, for all the people who like your post or share or comment there are others who love you in their hearts but simply aren’t the type of people who like and share and comment.
The internet has given us lots of numbers to keep checking and to keep track of. And they can be helpful.
But the range and depth of connection can’t be charted or graphed.
As an artist, your job is for your music to connect enough that you have no idea how far and deep and meaningful your reach.
***All you see is the clicks and the views and the number of streams. You have no idea what that stream meant to the person or people listening to it. Maybe it was on in the background. Maybe someone was excitedly showing their friends. Maybe someone was listening in their headphones with their eyes closed so tight. Maybe the group was singing along. Maybe someone was learning the chords. Maybe someone was trying to impress their crush. Maybe someone was remembering something wonderful or sad or meaningful. Maybe the family was dancing in the dining room.
There’s great serenity in the unknown…connecting enough to where you have no idea the difference you’re making.
