Don't die with your music still in you.

Are you more scared of what will happen to you if you follow your dreams, or what will happen to you if you don't?

When I think of the path I've chosen, and feel inspired to follow, vs. one that could (very possibly!) afford me a more steady future/income, I think about this.

Am I more fearful of doing what I love and never getting to the place I hope to eventually be, or more fearful of being sooo scared of failing, that I never try? For me, it's the latter.

So, I try to have loose expectations. By that, I mean that I know where I'd like to end up, of course. But I don't imagine that there's only one way to get there, or that there's not something more grand waiting for me, than what I've already thought up! I've gotten over any silly ideas that I could ever do it the exact same way someone else did. All of our circumstances are so original... so completely unique, that no one else can do it like us, either. There will be similar stories, sure... but why would we even want a story like someone else? BORING. It's way more fun to make up our own crazy, silly, or stupid adventures!
