Even while you guys having an evening drinking, you came up with this “why don’t we…” thoughts, which I think is great and we should think about it everytime we feel hopeless about something.

The art, music and words we produce are so interwoven with who we are, not just what we do. So putting them out there is certainly an act of vulnerability; and one you seem to be performing with aplomb. If we put our art, music, words - all derived from who we are - out there the assumption is we do so because it's important to us. But, what if it's not important to the receiving audience? Then is it an affront to our importance? Our relevance? That's scary, dude! So glad you are refusing to compromise creativity for fear and that you are sharing your process.
