One thing that I learned second-hand from streaming is praising your friends when they get big opportunity no matter what. Even if they are in direct competition of yourself. Jealousy sucks. Makes you doubt yourself in ways you never do otherwise. Clouds your judgement.

I'd say about 4-5 years ago I used to be bad about that. It seemed like everyone around me had connects, had gigs, had opportunity. Felt like I was grinding to exhaustion for nothing. Made me envious of others success while not seeing any of my own.

Now I still see people getting opportunities I want for sure but I'm proud of those people now. Like clearly they are making strong connections and good strides to having great communities or fanbases and its paying off. Does it make me think less of myself? Nah. It motivates.

Motivates me to find my own path. I been searching for literal years as to what I want from this streaming thing. Fame? Money? Friends? People who want to listen to me? I still don't know even after all this time. I just know as long as its my path I should be happy.

I'm glad to see other people's paths taking them to higher heights. And maybe one day I will reach those heights or maybe my path doesn't go that far. No two paths will ever be the same and that's okay so just enjoy yours as much as you can. That's all I'm trying to do.
