The Show Must Go On

I need to entertain the masses

I have been thinking. What’s the point of writing? All I write is silly articles about music and movies.

I’m unlike other writers who write impeccable books and articles about life. I’m not saying I’m not intelligent or incapable. It’s also not about the US election. It’s just not in my wheelhouse.

I have felt this way for a while now and am conflicted about what to do. When I need guidance, I always speak to my mom.

I would tell her,

All I write is entertainment. What’s the point?

She would look at me straight in the eyes,

People like to be entertained. Now more than ever.

She’s right. People like to be entertained. And, oh, boy, am I good at it.

I told her I would keep my shtick, but I’d write about music and movies with importance. The music and films mentioned will be a commentary on our culture.

Basing my writing on this would put my mind at ease. Writing helped lower my stress when I began my online writing career. So, I don’t see why I should stop.

Given college and my contemplating, I haven’t written in a while, but I’ll try to write more in December and early January.

The show must go on.

Let me entertain you.
