i will be more assertive without losing compassion or generosity
i will record and release at least one album
i will work to be more vulnerable
i will learn to take criticism
i will stop taking that extra second to bite my lip in order to look a little bit more like a white boy when i look in the mirror
i will push myself to do more non-explicitly-work-related things
i will try to be more vulnerable
i will use the resources i have to put on shows that support my fellow artists
i will work harder to actually participate in the artistic communities that i admire
i will push myself to collaborate with more people
i will commission a new work from a composer
i will learn to compromise just enough to keep working in this foreclosed, exploitative, capitalistic, and elitist industry without giving myself up
i will learn to be more vulnerable
i will remember, honor, and refer to the work done by people before me
