The future is a funny thing. Keep your chin up and show the world your teeth. There is no guaranteed success at the end of any "grind" but sometimes those hustles can lead to interesting places and peoples. You're opinion on what success means might change too.
I made a friend here on Newgrounds in 2008. Met her in person in 2012 when I drove across the country to live on my own in Oakland. Met her again a year or two down the road rooming with my current fiance in Miami. Making music led to some of the highest highs of my life. I WILL ONLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO CREATE THINGS, BE CREATIVE LOTUS. BE THE BEST ARTIST YOU CAN BE. JUST. DO IT. DO IT LOTUSPATH. MAKE. YOUR DREAMS. COME TRUE.
