You are bringing back so many memories with these posts.
I probably shouldn't be sharing this but it speaks to the power of art...

Back in '08-9 I was preparing a bunch of music to eventually play for MJ for whenever he decided to do a comeback... This Is It got announced few days before my birthday and my girlfriend at the time could get us VIP tickets and was trying to get me access to meet him in some way... June 25th happened and my ex broke up with me as the news hit as she knew I would be a completely broken man. I gradually got more and more depressed and was almost homeless by the end of 2010 and I was giving up on life and music... Out of nowhere while scrolling on Tumblr I hear this other dude sounding like Mike and it was not a fad like many were doing at the time, it was someone with a genuine artistic vision that just somehow sounded a bit like Mike. I went straight back to creating again and instantly had a purpose. "If this guy can put his own spin on things then so can I" I lost harddrives with 100's of songs and I didn't care, I just kept creating because the joy of it and the purpose was more important.

I owe Abel A LOT for taking the first steps on his journey and what that eventually inspired.. I'm not sure I would be alive today had I not found that purpose back then. We take it for granted what our bravery might ignite in others.. Heck I didn't even know my Aggrotech / Industrial band back in '07 had started a new underground rave scene in my country. I didn't discover that before searching for if there was any leftovers floating around online about my band... And then I found an interview with one of my friends that listed my band being one of his main inspirations for venturing into creating a scene. I had no idea as I never shared my music or talked about it... he had just admired it from a far...
We ultimately never know what we might kickstart with our moves and that's why we can't be afraid to do what we truly love, we never know who is watching and who needed that affirmation in that moment.

@Undisclosed I think I found it, it was on ktt1

A screenshot of one of his comments below. Also he shared some pics, but the image hoster says unavailable. Maybe they expired? 8+ years have passed lol
