Why aren't you using this shit as inspiration? Get angry, let it out through your music. That's what music is for! And just be grateful you don't live here, passports just went up to more than $400! Last time I renewed mine it was $80. I won't be renewing it again.Those executive orders are exactly what killed my inspiration last week. Instead of making music, I spent my time doomscrolling, making sure my brother isn't going to kill himself, wondering what the hell is happening with my passport application, throwing money at various mental health hotlines and trans rights orgs, trying to take naps because of depression, etc. I need to work out some coping mechanisms, and music is one of them but I feel like I have to be in a more or less okay place emotionally before I can even start that. I couldn't even go for a walk because the trails are still icy and it's been freezing.
That's not been my personal experience at all. My most productive period was when I was going through all kinds of shit. When I'm happy, I'm not creative because I don't need to be.Regardless of the romantic stories about artists, I expect their best work happened on their best days, not their worst ones.
