That's true. I spent a few years trying to make it as a dance music producer, and I was constantly working my butt off writing music and doing sound design. My work was never even close to being good enough because you really do have to be the best or among the best in the world at what you do. how could I hope to compete with people who had years more experience and resources than I did from across the globe?

I'm still a little bitter that I couldn't make it work but at least I have a healthier relationship with my music now.
