Dad I think after all you were probably right. I am not that good at my hobbies. And it isn't worth it to get that good. I listened to some of the industry leaders before and still found issues. Not liking the divorces or other short comings. Instead of proving a point I just accidentally opened my big mouth a lyric line and opened in the crowd for the nights amateur act.

 My dad said I wasn't that good of a musician. In hindsight I think it could be a good idea to listen to him. Rather than fight him or dispute this he probably does have a good point. How many people could do the same thing as me?

By the time I was that good I've heard it wouldn't matter any more. Reasons like then that's all you can do. So letting go and taking breaks from hobbies before. To keep my priorities straight.

I value my dad and his insight and life more than proving a point. And as stated I could be wrong. How many times did I see these people and maybe pass a little bit of judgement? I made some releases before and stopped before it got out of control.

How many others have made that same mistake? To think they are that good only to find out they aren't. Or to spend your life trying to be something that's out of reach. Actually I said 'anything you do there's someone whose better than you at that' so keeping that in mind.
