i've sung since discovering choir and acapella at age 16. gave it up right after college. never thought i'd return to it again.
discovery this year is despite being almost 40 and obviously busy/an engineer/founder who will never make it professionally, you CAN still find outlets to indulge in the creative side and perform for others! https://x.com/swyx/status/2043217991589102027 https://x.com/swyx/status/2043217991589102027
its scary but it stretches you in new ways and yeah, it keeps you young and optimistic that you can do things you've never done!
- bobbiechen 6mo agoIt's interesting how many people I know who jump instantly from hobby to thinking about hustling, Etsy, Patreon, fame, etc. and the thought that they'll never be good enough to go pro is a real barrier. You don't need to monetize your joy.
- swyx 6mo agoerr ok but i wasnt saying to monetize (not that you were saying it)
- bobbiechen 6mo agoI was agreeing with you! Though I can see how I came on a little strong there.
