So im learning how to play the guitar right ? Yeah, my fingers ache every goddamn day but i mean, practice makes perfect right ? I swear i play like 2 hours a day and that will increase once i get it to work with my new school schedule.
so my music frenzy began again, not that it wasn’t in play, just that it died out a bit after I started songwriting in the 6th grade with the band i was in. how i miss the old days, where my lyrics weren’t so rich in meaning and things that now cause stress were so lenient. im in this little world of mine where i see myself walking through the streets of Vancouver, or Michigan with Taylor Lautner, how i dream ; or me performing live at the VMA's with millions of fans watching. the dream that many people out there wish, especially when young in age: stardom.
is not all about the stardom, i see it as the pursuit of happiness. i KNOW that's where i should be, i KNOW that's what i should be doing...aren’t we all entitled to be happy? i mean sure, like my mom tells me: for things like those you need to start young..ah, hello, im only 18 ?! i know what she means though. like young young since diapers and all that bullshit, and that’s what makes me upset the most the fact that i didn’t take my childhood and make a good productive use of it. then again what is a 7 year old supposed to do about a crazy Dominican mom who by culture abide to the law: "education is your future" not that i disagree but i mean i want to sing, i want to perform in front of thousands of peoples, i want to do what i love to do & make money doing that...that’s happiness. i still think, better yet i KNOW i can do this and I WILL do it. i look up to people like Taylor Swift for instance who started when she was 12 and kept fighting till she got where she wanted. how long did it take her...6 years ! if that means im going to have the #1 hit on billboard for weeks when im 25 then by all means....
you need to fight for what makes you happy & stick to it. don’t listen to the negative people tell you, they just don’t have the courage to stand up for themselves and envy those who can. for my Dominicans who know what im talking about: DONT LISTEN TO YOUR MOM ! I am and always have been the number one rebel in the family, not out of disrespect, or ignorance but because i do what I believe is right and what i believe will get me where I want to be...not where they want me. I hope today's youth instead of worrying about the unnecessary things follow their dreams, and be smart about them.
in the words of Aerosmith, "Dream On" & don't forget Dream BIG.
