Doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing, rise-and-fall type of story. Aiming for hits is a sure fire way to burn out.
Even in programming, maths, making video games, films, books… don’t compare yourself to others and don’t look at the stats and think, why bother?
As long as you’re surviving and not throwing away your life or those lives that depend on you or care about you… just make music. Doesn’t have to be top 40. Just make the stuff you like and as much of it as you want.
