note to self

hey beautiful people! i've had a really uninspired couple weeks. i think the (comparative) popularity and response of letter the sun really shook me. i started believing that everything i make has to be just *perfect* otherwise i'll disappoint everyone. i think i'm back on my feet now, but you can never quite know how solid the ground is. so here's a note to myself; - dear nico, i don't care if you make (what i consider to be) terrible music. i don't care if you put in minimal effort before hurling something into the abyss of the universe. i don't care if you're happy with the result or not. i don't care and you shouldn't either. the only thing that matters to me is that you keep trying. keep pouring a little part of your soul—especially your flaws—into each and every piece of art you create. be honest with yourself and don't ever give a flying fuck about who likes it or not. warm regards, nico.
