Lyrics
I went downtown today
And I had an in-person interview
With a software company
And it was very interesting
For the first time in a while
I had an in-person interview
Last time I had been anywhere for a business sort of thing
Was in February
When I was let go from a consulting firm
They told me it was something I wasn't ready for
Right after training had finished
Which didn't feel very good, not gonna lie
That whole deal led to a big-
I don't wanna say a downward spiral
But I guess there isn't really a better way to describe
Just a feeling of almost uselessness
And pressure from a bunch of people, and...
Just nights where I'd break down sometimes even
It sucked
And it did definitely lead to some sort of depression
Because there was a career group I could have gone to, and
Just, on Monday mornings
I would stand outside the door to the career group, and
I would end up just turning around and going back to my car
And I don't know what caused it to this day, but
One day I decided that I was going to just, walk in
I don't know, I guess I just willed myself to do it
And, on that day, it became just so painfully clear how I was doing
Because I wasn't really showing my full self in the business world
Like, I had an idea of "Oh, business
I have to do all my computer science software programming stuff
And show off that stuff," but
I was- It was so restrictive
I didn't tell them about, I didn't say on my resume anything about
This music stuff that I do, anything that I do on YouTube
Any of my passions for games, my passions for creativity
I was just a "guy who did things"
And, they told me that, like, with all this other stuff
With all these passions that are within me, like
That's something that people are gonna care about
Even if, like, it doesn't fit exactly within the mold
You can prove that you're a person because you have passion
And, just, ever since then, I have been on an upward climb
Because I've just been showing
More of this stuff that I do on my resume
I've been reflecting all of who I am
And presenting all of me to people
And, um, I have thirty seconds left on these noodles
I don't know how much
What the bottom line of this is, so to speak
If there is a bottom line
Or if I'm just rambling while I'm waiting for this
I guess if anything, it's just
You have to make sure that you're showing your true self
Because what you do is you put talent and passion
In the things that you love
And people are gonna care about that
Because passion rocks
Peace out
