First things first, Hive is a free platform where you can just let all those fucked up thoughts and emotions run loose. It's not all happy blogs around here and I appreciate finding genuine write-ups like this because it reminds me we are just human. Before I forget, check out the community Rant, Complain, Talk. You wouldn't feel guilty or something like that if you post another blog like this. 😉
You also reminded me of that time 10-15 years ago when going to clubs and listening to DJs was the coolest thing I've ever done during my teenage years. 😂 Damn, that was an awesome period where you just got to feel and vibe with the music and other people (yes, actual human connection!). Internet and social media weren't still a thing!
I still can't quite figure why there are still a lot of people who would rather just fake it to reach the top than make real connections. But yeah, everyone has different motives in life. Don't give up on music though. I know it always has been the creative people (artists and musicians) having a hard time making their passion as a source of income, so some resort to extreme measures making their works be known but sacrificing the real things that matter in life. But then again, it's their choice and their life. Great that you stuck with your principles and values.
Disassociating with the DJ was better than not doing anything at all and continue being miserable. So good for you!
Hi Indayclara!
Thankyou for reading my blog, it took me about 2 days before finally posting it as I was worried about the backlash but I am glad that I did, I felt an immediate weight being lifted off my shoulders; the saying it right... 'Better out than in'. The way I saw it is that I didn't 'name & shame' anyone so its perfectly ok to make a legitimate statement on the affairs of buying followers. This was a brave post to make as could've been misconstrued wrong but it is SO SO refreshing to receive comments from likeminded people, thankyou HIVE for being so wonderful and full of people with constructive thought; this post wouldve had be torn to shreds on facebook!
Since posting this, I've managed to shift the dark cloud over my head and am feeling a lot better. Had some face to face chats and some perspective was given.
Thankyou :)
