as a kid the closest thing I had to friends were therapists lol.

Thanks man, yeah my dad told me he's proud of me recently which was amazing to hear. I don't really think I have artistic skill either, but I enjoy it so I do it. I've had some interesting conversations with a couple other musicians, and it seems like they do everything a lot more intuitively than I do. Doing things that sound right rather than just doing shit in the proper key, not having their chord progression be based off a root, etc.
