It’s simply awe-inspiring to learn what people can produce with a few pieces of instruments and vocals. The creativity is limitless, making it so full of potential. Since we are born in such diversity, there will always be an audience, even if the work is outright unorthodox. It’s a matter of choice, whether you are in it solely for the money or for something intangible that is far superior. I look up to those musicians who complacently stick to their ideas and identity like a barnacle despite travelling away from the crosswise street. They are inspirational and they send a message. A message that reads, “Always be true to yourself”. Whenever I’m struggling to succeed in any endeavour, I remind myself not to stray from my path. I hope there will be more true artists in existence.

I close the daybook and raise from my chair. At that instant, I reach for the player and recover the compact disc. Heedfully, I place it back into its jewel case.
