and in my sadness, i am also pushing myself to be curious. i am a songwriter who's been dealing with a decade-plus case of writers' block, and i have learned over and over again to turn the knob down on the voice that says "forget it, this sucks, how did i ever think that i could work with this? i'm done, i'm terrible, everything's terrible" and to turn up the volume up on the voice that says "hm. yeah, a lot of this sucks, but what about this part here? that seems interesting. could we build off of that?"
