I am worried about my future and the impact of being a composer will have on it. I love writing but sometimes I will prioritise work over my relationships with others because I know I need to do this.
I feel I am hesitant to be supportive towards the problems faced by my friends and family, I will choose to work over socialising and I always consider what effect being in an intimate relationship with someone will have on my work. Even in thinking about the future I think about whether I could sacrifice writing music if I were to have kids.
All of this might be an overreaction but I feel I need to be selfish now, even if it means I might lose a future aspect of my life.
Everyone has to be selfish sometimes.
