what do u think? 😅

... Read moreAs someone who has always been fascinated by the art of songwriting, I find that lyrics rooted in real life experiences often resonate deeper with listeners. When you write from your own journey—whether it's love, heartbreak, joy, or struggle—your words carry a genuine emotional weight that can forge a stronger connection with your audience. Many songwriters draw inspiration from their personal stories, making the lyrics relatable and heartfelt. This authenticity often leads to songs that not only tell a story but also evoke shared feelings, allowing listeners to see their own lives reflected in the music. However, it's also interesting to consider how fictional or imaginative lyrics can paint vivid stories and emotions that might transcend direct personal experience. In my own process, I’ve noticed that even when the lyrics aren’t directly about my everyday life, they often stem from emotions I’ve felt or situations I’ve observed closely. Asking yourself whether your lyrics are based on real events or feelings can help clarify your artistic intent and bring more depth and honesty into your songwriting. What do you think about the role of real life in crafting lyrics? Have you ever shared personal experiences in your music, or do you prefer to create fictional narratives? Your perspective can enrich this ongoing conversation about authenticity and creativity in songwriting.

#1 rule to stop caring what others think:
i used to be absolutely crippled by obsession over what other people thought about me. i was so insecure about how me and my life looked to others, i wasn’t even living for myself anymore. but once you start to build the life and character you really want for yourself - and once you grow enough
