gonna be a musician, i feel pointless, and i feel heaven is bliss...
Answer Daniel,
It sounds like you are a little depressed and somewhat apathetic about life in general. Do you really wish you could be a doctor or lawyer? Music is an art and skill not too many people can practice or make a living doing but you sound confident you can do it. There are a lot of people out there doing what they feel the MUST do instead of doing what they want to do. Find what you want to do and do it rather than doing something that will only bring regret. Sometimes we do things for a short period of time while we work towards doing what we want to do in life. IF life is feeling empty and bleak and you want to hurt yourself try calling 800-784-2433. There is someone live there to talk to and they can give you information about local services in your area. I wish you well.
Chris
