i used to be so optimistic... 

i made all these plans and now i'm not sure if any of my dreams will ever come true. i hate to say it out loud or put it in writing... but at this point i don't know anymore.

i'm 21, i haven't done 1 thing i wanted too yet. i thought i'd be so much further along in the stuff i wanted to do by now. i've got 6 months of school for hairdressing (which i only want as a back up job) don't get me wrong, i like learning it. but i wanted a job, an apartment, to travel, my studio, to publish my books, to try and start my band....

i feel like i'm stuck in the same rut i have been for 7+ years. why can't things change? why won't anyone let me change? i can't even be myself right now, and the worst thing is, NO ONE  knows. 


i hate faking a smile, pretending to be happy

Being a Hobby Musician , I can really relate to this. And I have other dreams too... I cnstantly think about stories and put some work into it every now and then, yet publishing something seems so far away. The trick is; don´t spend too much time learning stuff or preparing yourself... when I started making music, I really sucked at it. Me and my former classmate Patrick started making music together and we didn´t give a damn how bad we were. We just wrote songs, recorded them and everything was so terrible. We never really stopped though. Meanwhile we´re both ok at writing songs/singing/composing etc. ... If I had waited until I felt like I´m a good musician, I would´ve never written a song to this day.

Whatever you want to do, don´t be afraid to suck at it. You´ll only get better / reach the point where you feel ready - by actually doing it...
