The main thing is not to give up on your dream if you want it bad enough. Keep writing and getting better at what you do and eventually it will happen.

Here’s something I wish I could have learned a long, long time ago - you can’t always trust your parents :D especially when they say that music isn’t going to take you anywhere. There are too many examples that can prove them wrong, just do your thing, figure out a way to be good at it, figure out a way to become even better at it and you’ll be one of those examples… but you shouldn’t care anyway. And even when you get there, there’s always something ready to go wrong and you just can’t be prepared for anything. But less head banging and more problem solving is always a great idea.
