Honestly, love your friends. Tell them you love them.
Love your favourite bands. Go out to shows and support them even if you have no one to go with.
Life is far too short.
Making music in the modern era is the most accessible it has ever been.
If you really cared about music youβd pick up a cheap laptop and a free DAW, and inspire others to do the same instead of grifting for a billion dollar AI company.
Your younger self would be ashamed of you.
