@Ulax I have my fiance, but that can be hit and miss, depends on what the issue is. Other then her, no, not really. @SonataAllegro It definitely can help, and I appreciate your interest. I have not officially released anything so all I have is a dropbox to share from at this time. My project revolves around telling a story without being so forth-rite about it. It's themed around a sort of vampire/horror aesthetic. Each song will have a "package" with it to give snips into the story or what is happening but will leave room for your own imagination to run wild. https://www.dropbox.com/s/6pzqb8888vkai5z/Blood %26 Wine.wav?dl=0

Wow, this is a fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing

Hey everyone, First time poster, nice to meet everyone! I was seeking advise for how to deal with life struggles while pursuing your life purpose. Within the last year I have really started to focus greatly on pursuing my creative life-purpose. I compose music and have been in the prep phase for about 4 months now and plan on releasing officially late next year. I have a lot of snowballs starting in a lot of areas; however, there are so many things in life that are really trying to pull me away and cause me to lose my focus and ability to be creative. Such things include getting married, emotionally handling my 10-year furry companion possibly having cancer, raising 2 teenage girls, prepping to move to another state (which includes selling our home and buying another one) and really trying to hang in there for my fiance as she has recently gone through some taxing stuff as well. Knowing the basics of my situation, how would you handle trying to maintain motivation through all of this? I have been a gamer my whole life and so that's a safe place for me to get stress relief and I am really trying to be mindful to not fall into a trap of using this as a way of avoiding my feelings rather than legitimate stress relief. While I'm making music, that does help with my stress relief but with the exception of causing new stress. The stress of pushing my self to get better and to get my ideas into a musical form. Although I do enjoy pushing myself, it feels very hard to do so when all of this non life purpose stress is pressed upon me. Do I give myself a break from pushing my life purpose? Do I push through, even if I'm not feeling creative, maybe for the sake of creating the habit? Do I focus on things I can progress my life purpose that are not about writing music and more logistics of running a business since that part is slightly less stressful? Is this just my ego trying to stop me from stepping further out of my comfort zone? I really don't know what I should do and wanted to see how everyone willing to post would handle the situation themselves? I appreciate any advice as I'm really lost with this one.
