To Jessi: As a musician i'm also a good developer so while music fills My soul webdev fills My pocket. But shes right i cant get a job at target, they won't pay what I charge.

failure is giving up on something that soothes your soul. forget all about money, fame, releases, labels. giving up is also an option if it has a negative impact on your mental health, and even then, you're not a failed artist.
