    If you truly have a desire to get something out there, you find a way and acquire the skills to do so without having a fortune. You’re intentionally limiting yourself to a single artistic outlet, and that also becomes your excuse because that’s what you “specialize in”. But it’s only you keeping you from having a different artistic outlet.

      Or maybe, just maybe he wants to play with his instrument of choice instead of another “artistic outlet”.

      That “pulling yourself up by the bootstraps” crap was supposed to be a sarcastic saying, not meant as real advice.

        None of what I’m saying is “pulling yourself up by the bootstrap”. It’s all about adapting to provide maximum happiness for yourself instead of imposing limits on yourself for no real reason.

          you’re throwing a student trumpet at a bass saxophone player and saying “hey play this instead”. do you know how much a functional one of those costs? my instrument costs more.

          None of what I’m saying is “pulling yourself up by the bootstrap"

          what do you play? and at what level?
