@Tim Hess i do martial arts, yes. I've done judo, aikido and I'm still doing Karate to this day. Love the sport. Though, it's a hobby. nothing pro.

@Tim Hess oh yes, it is. So sorry to hear your can't pursue it anymore. I recently broke my Hand during the Training, and i still can't do a fist. But i hope i will be able to punch again.

great question. I think the biggest mindset shift is realizing that songwriting isn’t about just feeling inspired, but about skill-building. So many songwriters stay stuck because they wait for the “perfect idea” or the “right mood.” But confident writers don’t wait, they practice on purpose. They understand that creativity grows through structure, not in spite of it. Instead of asking “Do I feel creative today?” they ask, “What specific skill can I practice today?” and that shift (from chasing inspiration to training craft) changes everything. it takes you from hoping for progress to creating it, one small, deliberate step at a time.

@Jake Galambos absolutely

@Erik Zambrano i loved them too. So, you were a kid in the 90s?

@Jake Galambos thought so, since you have that n'sync gif, though they were a little before my time, same as backstreet boys. never got that hype, but then had my own boyband dilemma later. haha
