I stumbled on this track called "I'm SOLO", and let me tell you—it's not just a song; it's an anthem for anyone grinding silently, questioning the norms, and chasing a vision bigger than themselves.
The Line That Hit
The lyrics hit home: "They try to tell me get a job, and pick a realistic goal I would rather die young than live for anybody else."
That line? That's everything. Because I've been there—the constant pressure to "fit in," to follow a predictable script, when deep down you know you're built for something different.
Why Solitude Works
Ever since I started building, I've been mostly by myself. Not because I hate people. Not because I can't vibe. But because purpose demands solitude. It's where the real work happens. Like the hook says: "I'm SOLO... Secrets only live outside I'm DOLO... It's not a lot of people that I like I know."
Tradeoffs I Accept
- Lost relationships and missed weekends.
- Fewer parties, more prototypes.
- Peace from progress, not permission.
And honestly, I relate. This path can be isolating. I've lost relationships. Missed out on weekends. Turned down parties. But every sacrifice is a brick in the foundation of the future I'm building. Would I change it? No. Because the truth is, I find peace in the work. It's not punishment—it's passion.
If you're out there feeling the same—different, distant, driven—remember this: You're not crazy for wanting more. You're just SOLO.
