So late last year I had a bit of an epiphany as to the direction I should take with my studies - which has resulted in a significant shifting of goalposts. Before, I only had my final year of engineering left to go before I could rejoin the rest of society. Finding the time to balance this with musical pursuits has been tricky but still doable. Now I’m facing a helluva lot more work and really need to focus if I want to succeed.
I suspect that the whole music thing is likely to become a distraction that I could really do without. Sure I could box everything up for time being, but it’d still be there in the back of my mind. Perhaps it’d be better just to give it all up.
(Edit: Forgot to add, there’ll also be a brand new baby in the house in the next few months - my sister’s, not mine. Plus I need to find a job now that I’ve exceeded the limit of my student payments and have zero income).
But that’s enough about me…
I’m curious if anybody else here has given up on the music thing for a significant length of time in order to focus on something else.
