Why don't you research degree programs in what you're interested in and what it would take to get into one of them?

What is making it?

Making it is being the best you can be.

When you're good at something you become radiant. Your passion becomes exuberant and excudes you. People will gravitate toward it. If you are worried about what others think and others rather than yourself you cant become the best your can be.

don't want the troubles of pursuing such industry nor the troubles that come along with breaking into
Breh I'm gonna tell it to you straight and honest because you're a man and I want you to succeed.


STOP BEING LAZY
STOP THE PITY PARTY shyt
AND GRIND.

Dont settle for the comfortable because you will have to go through uncomfortable shyt.

I suggest you get in touch spiritually breh...listen to some td jakes :ohlawd: or farrakhan.fukking someone.

Do what you love...

You talk about industry..maybe music or something is your calling but you're focused on other shyt and can't get out of your head to go after it.

You will never be satisfied in life doing shyt just because it's comfortable.

Happiness comes from within. I'm simply always chasing a high.

I already feel isolated and alienated enough. I can't imagine that magnified by other's perceptions and expectations.

As broke as I am, money doesn't mean that much to me. Literally nothing I want in this world that bad material wise.

What I want bad is connection.

I will still do music and writing as a hobby. I just need to figure out if I will continue school or build a resume/get certs.

After that I feel like I will still struggle in this life socially and mentally even if I make good money.

I thought of good deeds I'd like to go through with a nice 5-6 figure for my community.

I thought when I got older certain issues would go away but instead. Feels like nothing has changed too much.
Breh you may not and coli brehs may not want to hear this but maybe you should seek God and ask him what is his purpose for your life. You don't know what you want in life..he has a plan for you already...the way you talk about industry and music it sounds music might be your calling but you're distracted and you're talking yourself out of doing it.



What do you have to lose...

Or talk to a mentor or someone so you can formulate a plan.

The logical advice would be to get a job, preferably one you enjoy and pays decent and work on getting better at music, going to school for music, taking improv classes or something.

Make videos of yourself learning songs..

Post updates weekly or monthly and people can watch your progression.

Watch tutorials on youtube on how to make beats.

You're gonna have to put work in whatever you do...

Putting the work in will make you appreciate what you're doing and also make you feel good about yourself.

What is making it? Do I really need and want fame and fortune?
I really put some thought into it. I don't want to be an idol and the industry isn't a great environment.
nikka shutup..

There are scenes everywhere, you know nothing about the industry you even talk to people?

There are good and bad sides...most people who do music don't even have to goto hollywood and be apart of that stuff.

The endgame should be to be able to get paid doing what you love doing.

I really like this answer. Microwave era is quite concerning for anyone who wants to put out their heart and soul into their work.
Just shut the fukk up and make your art..

There are different scenes and still great music around...who cares about mainstream.

Their is still music being put out that touches peoples hearts.

You're right I'm just a chronic masturbator. I need to add getting up early and jump rope to my routine. I'm starting to get flabby. The part between my neck and chin is gaining a small layer of fat. I saw in the mirror earlier...
