I make music. It's all I make. I made a rap mixtape. I was in a band in high school. I'm more passionate about the rock and roll though. We played alternative psychedelic rock funk? What was our genre? We had a minor amount of clout. 5k plays on SoundCloud from just randoms. I tried to start a band in university, but we didn't really practice much though and wrote 5 songs. It wasn't the same. We were fearless.

I used to write a lot of code. That was the original possession. I made websites, backend tools, regular games, flash games, an uncompleted platform game in Android, some nuisance program in C in the seventh grade. Tried to type in assembler to get my own OS to boot. For some reason I stopped doing all of this halfway through high school. I was so bored in programming class then I ended up getting suspended.

I still produce music uncontrollably and made a teen angst novel but it was pretty bad. I am good at coding but the urge is gone. How can you lose passion for something? These urges pull me away from everything else. And like a lot of us I guess I beat up on myself too hard for not doing more. I need more.
