Stumbled across this somehow from Reddit, great writing and really aligns with how most of us feel right now. There is definitely light in music and words also, and as a musician it is important to remember how art touches people more than most creators know. Reading opinions like yours just helps remind me that we're not 100% fucked, and if it sometimes feels that way, there is always art 🖤

Thanks so much for reading and for the kind words! It’s so true, we have to remember there are plenty of us out there and art is always being made. 🖤

Thank you for your honest and heartfelt Reflection and the bravery of your Cynic’s Pledge. It IS an act of bravery to stand up and be counted as someone who is not giving in to the fear and darkness that is all too present. I like your description that music is not only sound, but light. Music is what gets me through and reminds me of the goodness in people and in the world. We have a duty to share it even when it seems trivial or insignificant so please keep doing what you do. It does matter. (A friend) :)
