Value Of Money


 Imagine yourseof as Bill Gates how much is a dollar worth to you now? A penny? See it's a currency that's always changing, rates peaking and plummeting. So yesterday i asked myself how much a dollar was worth. Not much apparently compared to last week when I was so sure that my royalties were about to be dried up since it's been almost half a year since my last track came out.

   That sent me into a swirling depression as usual but then these past couple of days started working on a new project, new ways. So as you might have guessed the value dropped again.

  My first ever payment from music was $14 it meant the world to me, I imagined all the things I could do with it then it grew 20,50,100,240, per month until eventually it became stitched to the fabric of everyday life, I took it for granted, I would even think about it, it became as mundane as breathing.

  A couple of purchases and I'm worried whether I would earn back the money I spent, now each dollar began to count. A gaping hole left to be filled.

Well, if there's one piece of advice I'd like to give to anybody is never do something for money, the currency is never constant and soon you'll lack motivation to do shit. So if there's one thing you can count on, it's love, love for the art, the art of music. It  took me a while to regain that of course, there were times when music didn't exist to me but once I found it, it became the love for each melody that kept me going the desire and hunger to be the best.

  So what's the bottom line here? Keep your priorities straight but never make money the main one. Cheers!
