I went through something frighteningly similar not very long ago. I had always heard people talk about the importance of cleanliness on mental health and hygiene, but it was only after that experience that I understood that cleanliness is even MORE vital for mental health than for physical health. I had been facing depression unknowingly for quite a while. At some point, someone I looked up to said something parallel to the words “Your dream isn’t coming true”. At which point, I drove home, angry at myself, and pissed at what I had turned into. Oddly enough I was not in the slightest mad at the person who said those words. Without thought, I took out my anger on my apartment (granted, a small one) by cleaning it up. These kind of overnight stories are rare and so I can see how this might seem unreal, but almost the next day I was restored to the creative and motivated person I used to be. I quickly started getting back into the habit of creating things and more importantly pursuing the dream that I had supposedly “lost”. To spare the details, my dream came true. I don’t know whether it was the clean environment itself or the simple feeling of power that came from acting out on it, but it changed the course of my life. Something simple can go a long way. It’s neat to see your experience in such a beautiful video. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your story. The willpower can come in different forms. I suppose in your case it was what that person said and it's good that you were able to get back on track shortly after and more importantly fulfill your dream. I hope even better days await you!

@@fougiss Thank you, and I think better days await all of us. By the way I would love to see you continue to make music. I know you don't see yourself as a composer, but it's such a great way to express emotion.

I have a piano progress video that I will be uploading as soon as my left hand starts listening to me and a violin one months later when my bowing gets better. Do you play any musical instrument btw?
