Welcome on board.
It’s a real pleasure to have you here with me. This is the beginning of a journey that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. I should have started it a long time ago, but for many reasons, I didn’t. Reasons that may or may not be valid, but that doesn’t matter because what matters is to start… and not give up.
My name is Max, and I have a mission. I want to inspire people through my music, my art, and my story to follow their dreams and live their lives. This blog is my personal, official platform where I’ll share every step I take toward my dreams.
A few months ago, I was living in Málaga while finishing my studies in music production, and I found myself in a bit of a strange situation. One morning, I woke up in Madrid while job hunting and realized I wasn’t happy. I realized I was incredibly miserable and couldn’t continue living my life the way I was. That day was a powerful wake-up call, and I decided to stop running away from what I knew I wanted to do with my life.
After a few days and nights trying to save my situation in Spain, I made the drastic decision to… leave the summer behind and return to my hometown, Salta, Argentina, to take some time to work on myself. A month after my existential crisis in Madrid, I was flying back to the starting point, to lock myself away and create my dreams.
It’s been four months since I came back home to work on building my career, and it’s been a rollercoaster every single day. Studying, working, experimenting, and so many more things happened within the four walls of what is now my studio, where I study, work, compose, record, and produce songs. Every minute of these past few months has been worth it, but I can’t hide away forever. So today, on September 9th, 2024, I decided to come out and start again after all this time.
I feel like I’m writing very formally, but the truth is I have no idea how one announces they’re back in the game. So, well, hello, here I am, ready to live. I also don’t want to overthink it because, #1, this is my blog, and I write what I want here, and #2, if I wait for the perfect post to announce that I’m coming back into the world after locking myself away to work like a hermit, I’ll probably never end up posting anything. So in this simple and heartfelt act, I’m telling you that here I am haha (I’m not going to edit this post at all).
Another thing is that, in the middle of my crisis in Madrid, I felt like I was wasting my life and that these past few years I basically did nothing with my life. Today, after much reflection, I don’t see it that way anymore, but it is true that I didn’t enjoy many beautiful moments of my past, and I deeply regret that.
When I was younger, I made a list of things I wanted to do in my life before I died. It’s a bit dramatic, but I see it more as a map of adventures. I’ve edited this list a few times over the years, with the last edition in October 2023. Without realizing it, I actually did things on that list without noticing, AND WITHOUT ENJOYING THEM. So, I decided to go all in.
Go all in or don’t go at all, I read somewhere. I decided to completely change my life, pursue my dream of being a singer and music producer, and also complete all the adventures on my famous “bucket list” and share it with the world.
The truth is that over the past few years, thinking that things were impossible didn’t help me at all and only brought me a life where I wasn’t happy. So I decided to not give a %&$·$&· anymore and do everything I love and dreamed of doing, and share it here.
On the other hand, this is also a bit of an experiment for me. I’ve been reading a bunch of books about how to follow your dreams and achieve what you want and all those trendy things. And since I have nothing to lose, I’m going to put to the test everything those books say, step by step, share and recommend tips, and tell you which books helped me. All very anti-BS because at this point, I’m not here for bad life advice.
So, yeah, anyway haha if I ever have a son or daughter, I’d like them to be brave enough to follow their dreams, be happy, and not care about anything else. So I hope to set a good example on this blog in case they ever open it and read it.
I hope you join this adventure. If I manage to inspire one person to do what they love, I’ve made it. So, well, I’ll be posting everything here, one post every Monday, and updates about my life on Instagram. So it’s time to step out.
See you in the next post.
Max.
