My Journey: From Depression and Resentment to Eternal Ballers

by Eternal Ballers

I hope this message finds you well. Today, I want to share my personal journey with you—a story of resilience, growth, and the transformative power of music. My name is Steadfasta, and I am the main force behind the international music project Eternal Ballers.

In 2020, I made a life-altering decision to take my passion for music to a new level. This decision set me on a path of self-discovery, helping me overcome depression and anxiety while also aiming to assist others in their own journeys.

Back in 2019, I reached a breaking point in my life. I realized I needed to take a break from my survival-focused mindset, so I took an entire year off. I had been relentlessly chasing financial success, neglecting my true passion for music along the way. It had been over 15 years since I last played in a band or wrote any new songs, and deep down, I knew something was missing.

At the beginning of 2020, I felt a strong urge to resume my business ventures, believing that I had already taken sufficient time off to recharge. Driven by a newfound determination, I immersed myself in creating new businesses, eagerly striving to compensate for the time I had lost. However, destiny had a different course in mind, as the world was struck by the pandemic in March 2020. Despite the difficulties, my e-commerce ventures began generating revenue, offering a glimmer of hope.

During that period, I was drawn into the captivating worlds of the stock market and crypto market. It became apparent to me how accessible investing was, and I couldn't help but acknowledge the missed opportunities resulting from my lack of knowledge. It struck me deeply that genuine wealth extends beyond mere earnings; it lies in the astute investment of those earnings. Discovering that someone close to me had possessed this knowledge all along, yet chose not to share it, evoked feelings of neglect and betrayal. Those emotions plagued me for many months, driving me to the edge.

In November 2020, I sought solace in recording music as a means to escape the clutches of resentment and disappointment. Through this creative outlet, I channeled my pain into powerful, uplifting lyrics and melodies, with the sincere aspiration of inspiring others to overcome their own obstacles.

Despite the internal struggles I confronted, I persevered in releasing one song after another. Throughout 2021, I maintained a luxurious lifestyle, fueled by my successes in the stock market and the cryptocurrency boom. Nevertheless, the void within me continued to expand, and it was my music that became my sole source of solace, propelling me forward in the face of negative thoughts and disappointments. Tracks like 'Main Man' and 'Who's Awake' resonated deeply with listeners, many of whom expressed how profoundly moved they were, even shedding tears upon hearing my music. In fact, I, too, shed tears countless times while recording and listening to my own creations. Crying is a cathartic process that can heal both the body and the mind, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. The profound connection people felt with my music prompted me to release a new song every two weeks, consistently receiving nothing but positive feedback.

In September 2021, during the cryptocurrency market's bull run, I took a leap of faith and invested a significant portion of my remaining funds in NFTs (non-fungible tokens), hoping for a positive turn of events. Regrettably, my lack of experience led to poor decisions, resulting in a substantial loss. I found myself in debt, burdened with a $40,000 obligation, which accounted for all the resources I had. I felt very depressed the entire 2022 but I kept playing and writing music.In the summer of 2022 I became homeless for a few months because I needed cash so I rented out my own apartment. This money I earned paid for my music and the minimum payments of my credit cards.

In June 2023, a breakthrough occurred. I connected with the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), an organization committed to raising awareness about mental health. Sharing my personal experiences and my eagerness to collaborate, I caught their attention. It was an opportunity I had dreamed of, a chance to showcase the power of music in healing and uplifting the human spirit.
