Hey something I can very much relate to.
From 2013-early 2016 I was in a very bad place. I'm sure you've heard similar stories - I was a full time college student that also worked part-time. The vast majority of the paltry money I made from my part-time job had to go to rent and utilities and groceries and all that ****. I lived with my girlfriend and it was becoming clearer and clearer by the day that the relationship was not going to last but I stuck in it because we had an apartment lease together more than anything. I spent ~10 hours a day either in class, doing homework, or at my job. Literally nothing about my life was enjoyable or worthwhile...except for Daydream Society. To be perfectly blunt there were points where I would attribute Daydream Society with quite literally keeping me alive.
As a result, all of those albums serve as basically a time capsule. I remember the time of year, how I was spending my time, what I was struggling with every time I listen to one of those albums.
You're saying that you're struggling to find the motivation to maintain a creative project, but I would definitely recommend doing what you can in finding one to invest in. Any sort of creative motivation that leads to a tangible representation of progress can be a powerful thing for the mind.
