This is a little embarrassing for me to post but I want to get it out there regardless. I just got a Novation Launchpad Pro MK3. Ya, I dunno exactly what I'm thinking either. Alright so I know, I know... I just bought something that might have been a little overkill for someone who's a bit of a music noob. Don't get me wrong, I feel like it could have been a bad decision. I guess that's kind of imposter syndrome talking. But there's a point to this. This is a new direction. It's something I've never really done and I have to start moving out of my comfort zones. Why not thrust myself into the unknown and give some new things a try? Not only that but two thirds of the payment came from Christmas money. So I'm chilling on the money perspective. Back before the carnivore diet I had thought to do something like this but I didn't and it stewed in my mind for several years. Nothing ventured was nothing gained. Here's to the hope that I find playing or making music into something I can do and love. If not, then at least I invested in myself and learned something about myself. In the worst case scenario I'll find a use for it in some other way. Maybe if I have kids they'll love it. 🤷‍♂️

The classic "I spent too much money on a synth and now I'm a little embarrassed" post! Don't be ashamed, friend! It takes guts to invest in yourself, especially when you're venturing into uncharted territory. Imposter syndrome is real, but it's also an excuse. You're not just some music noob; you're a pioneer who's willing to take the leap and try something new. And hey, if that doesn't pan out, at least you'll have a killer synth for your next garage sale or kids' birthday party. On a more serious note, it's awesome that you're embracing this new direction and challenging yourself outside of your comfort zone. That's what growth is all about! And who knows, you might just find a hidden talent or passion. So go ahead, rock that Launchpad Pro MK3 like it's nobody's business! You got this (and if not, well, at least you'll have some great stories to tell). Keep pushing yourself and having fun with music. The carnivore diet may be behind you, but the real feast is just beginning
