Everybody has different opinions, especially strong ones when your emotions are involved. I read a post earlier today and it really upset me. My goal in life is to be happy and do what I love doing, whether it may be out of desperation or failure, it is a risk I am willing to take. I have gone to school and tried to fake a passion for it and I just get can’t. I love playing music and everything that comes with it. I realize when you don’t have a talent like the one I have you can’t see the same things I do and it’s frustrated to hear people put my dreams down based off of what it looks like on the outside. Just another pop band that won’t make it far. That kills me, because it is my dream to play music. It’s not my dream to play in front of 13 year old girls and still live at home and bath in girls liking me or who is valued most based of their looks. But sometimes to get where you want to go you need to push through all that bullshit. I’m realistic about it. I know this is not a true career choose and so does everyone else in the band. Most of us have back up plans. Everyone wants to be rich and lay with true happiness. It’s human nature. I understand you’re bright and making a wise decision by going to school and pursuing a good career, but so are most of us. You’re just in the ordinary. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s something I chose not to do. Just because you don’t agree with someone’s path doesn’t mean it’s okay to shoot it down in a condescending manner. It makes you look ignorant, because for me, playing music is the only thing in life that makes me completely happy; so shooting that down shows me you have no idea what you’re talking about. Next time you decide to attack an individual just realize there is a HUGE group behind them.
