i always thought it would be cool to be a guitarist but lets say i make a famous song become rich, then i would feel like i'm missing out on the other things in life like family, a real job, things that make u go day to day till you die then everything repeats and it feels useless then i wish to be rich cuase life is so useless anyways, so then if i became the guitarist i wanted to be i'd be famous and making thousands with little reason to live cuase i might have millions. i don't why but what ever i do i feel like it's just gonna make me miss out on something else in life. be middle class live a normal life does'nt sound bad sometimes, being rich (if thats even possible for me) will be unfullfiling but... i don't even know it would probably be awesome still. anyone here thats like 25 or older and can tell me what a normal life is like, cuase i sometimes i feel like thats the best way to live.
Normal life kinda sucks. Most of us medicate to ease the pain of going to work most every day until we die. That being said, as long as I stay medicated (weed) life is actually pretty good. I highly recommend making money over not making it btw. You might want to have a back up plan for the guitar thing. Most professional guitarists end up poor not rich.
"Normal Life" Is something I have never believed in, but I have heard that statement made many times. Personally I have always chosen the path which I fealt suited me better. I was a horrible student in school, but still graduated. (This was only because some of my teachers decided that they didn't think I could. I have always had a problem with authority figures.) I have had a steady job which I find pleasure in. I like what I do and I think that is very important. If you go to work everyday hating the experience and fealing incomplete fucking quit! You dont need it and eventually something will present itself. Live by your definition of happiness and success. Not the world around you! "You create your own reality." (I quoted this because it is not my thought, but I dont know who said it.) I have lived by that statement since I was your age and it is very true. Wealth comes to those who REALLY want it and who says you cannot be wealthy, (this popular rock star image you speak of,) and still keep a good head on your shoulders. I am sure that even though it is probably not the majority, there are some "rock stars" that are pretty damn decent people. You can accomplish anything, you can be what you want to be, Just dont loose sight of who YOU ARE! Jus mah two cents on the whole thing. Good day , good luck and *SMILE* 8)
Normal is what ever is normal for you, period. Nobody else can define what is normal for any one individual. The only thing we can do is say what is normal for ourselves and give our personal opinions but in the end only you can define what is normal for you.
Surely you could become rich and famous etc with music and then when you feel that enough is enough you could stop it all and settle down. Alot of musicians do that.
Pfff... Fame and money are nothing. Write music because you love it. live for music and thats all you need FUCK the rest.
when i grow up... Ya fukt up right there Qman. Stay fifteen for the rest of your life...Wait fuck, no stay 16 when ya get there... Stay the age you've made the most of. After a while, this should sink in, and the state of yeah or nay on stay or stray may be dicintegrated at the snap of two fingers(HINT:when you're doing a one handed solo).Everytime. :CHEERS:
I don't wanna have a normal life. I want to be the crazy dude that everybody watches and always does the most surreal stuff like release a porn where I have sex with 32 girls and then at the end put on a wig and a dress and say "always use a condom" and then fly away. I want to ride a zebra onstage.
Everything is a double edged sword. The only advice I can give is to be happy with what you have...but at the same time its good to make things happen.
A wise man never gets into an arguement. Yeast fermented drinks and ciggerettes are the two paths to destruction.Not just to your health, but also to your wallet. By the time you get to my age, ciggerettes will cost you ten pounds for 20. A pet is yours for life. Treat it well and it will treat you well. if you live in London, by the time you get to my age, the one day travelcard will cost 15 pounds and 49 pence for zones 1-6. Single travel will be 8 pounds. Avoid London. if you live in London, try and escape. Education is better completed than unfinished. You will see why. Better to get skilled work than unskilled work. Reason: It is forecasted that the EU will expand by 50% and Government of labour will still be in power in ten years time. babies cry to get attention. Better plug in an mp3 player and ignore baby, than try and reason with the banshee. Money is only one part of life. Forming good relationships is key. When I was your age, I wanted to be a musician. sadly i am unqualified to do anything. I am only good for a washer upper or a lamp lighter. True. So get education.
What are you going to do after they let you out of jail? If your Dad's got a family business and will hire you after you get out then maybe your plan isn't all that bad. Try not to get shot though, that would mess up the plan.
just do what you like, live how makes you happy, do your own thing. keep your values and dont let yourself become fake.. if you can find your true self, you will then find what truly makes you happy in life and all this confusion.. all these questions you seek, they will disappear. im still working on this process for myself, but so far it has proven itself to be very true. especially if you are very confused.. peace
Trust me I have a good plan, I'll do what my friends dad does and noly sell to close friends, but he only sells ounces and amounts hire then that so he makes a lot of money. And he has a real job too. btw Im going to have a real job too lol, Im not gonna be like one of those guys that live for dealing drugs.
why write music because it gets up rich and famous write because you love music. thats what i do even if my song soulds like shit i still think its awsome.
