17 hols prompt:

I wonder what's in store
If I don't love it anymore
I'm stuck between the having it all and giving it up
—Suga's Interlude by Suga

/

RM: Sometimes as I grow up — and I’m between my chapter one and two, like I said, the group and solo; maybe I’m between music and maybe [visual] art, between that. So sometimes I really feel afraid, like, “What if I don’t like music anymore?” [...] Sometimes I really feel afraid — like, music, it’s not my first thing anymore, sort of like that.
Williams: Yeah. That’s temporary.
RM: Oh, really? I’m relieved.
—Rolling Stone conversation between RM and Pharrell Williams
