Subject: Re: Liking/Disliking your own music
You pretty much just completely explained the way I've felt for the past week. Its like emotions blind us from things sometimes. I've recently started meditating & praying every night and morning. Its amazing what it's done and its only been 3 days. Even when it's been a bad day, at night I can go to sleep with a smile after meditating because I took the time to reflect all the things to be grateful for. I think its also a great way to build self-esteem especially for music.
