Throughout my life I've found that there's no more fulfilling way to express oneself than through music and art.
Being an artist is something that can't be easily understood by everyone you encounter in this lifetime; those who don't pursue a passion to such a degree can't understand the amount of internal struggle we as creatives face everyday. Music was regarded by the Romans with the same importance as rhetoric, geometry, and mathematics; don't let anyone ever tell you it's not important.
Stay fly.
