I think I need to stop daydreaming so often. My mind moves in all directions and I keep dreaming and dreaming without ever knowing whether I'd truly have the guts and abilities to pursue any of those avenues. For example, I'm fascinated by a particular kind of electronic music, although it's a widely despised term many call it "folktronica" (there's also chillwave but I'm not incredibly knowledgeable about all the contemporary strains of electronic music) It's a very beautiful, dreamy genre, usually featuring a mix of electronic and acoustic instruments. It just feels so colorful and fancy, I love it. I keep telling myself that it'd be great to be able to compose such music but I'm already in my 30's and I know nothing about the technical side of music. I just wish I could find a subject that wouldn't feel like a total chore to learn and get lost in. I wonder whether I could actually do this. This feels so bad

I don't think there's much wrong with daydreaming. But if all your time is consumed with it, I can try to see your problem. I often wish I could get my imagination and daydreaming back. Pursuing your dreams, is important to most. Whether it's productive or not is another thing, I suppose..... you are looking for more purpose? A job in the music field? Do you have other interests you could pursue? hugs

I used to read all sorts of books and write poetry. Now, it's somewhat more difficult. I used to write music reviews for an online magazine and sometimes I think about going back to that, I'd need to speak to my former "boss" (I did it for free) and I haven't been in touch with him for close to two years ![]() |

I learned a lot of the technical side within three months of just working on it an hour a day. I learned Logic and Protools. Daydreaming isn't a bad thing, especially if it's over a passion. I say pursue it. It's some of the most fun I've ever had.

Hey! Do you have a background in music and play an instrument? That's quite interesting. I want to fool around with Magix Music Maker, just because it's so simple and newbie-friendly. I've also ordered a book about music theory, I hope I don't get bored or discouraged after a while, fingers crossed!

((((fallaximago)))) I'm sorry you're struggling. I can relate as I struggle with daydreaming, as well.

Day dreaming gives me a chance to escape from time to time. I gave it up for a while because I assumed it was unhealthy and abnormal. I am grateful that I can experience some quality of life and genuine joy when I take time out now.
Could you use them to write lyrics's? |
