I'm kinda in the same position as you, albeit probably a bit younger. I've come to the conclusion that there are billions of people on this earth and unless you reach a big portion of them no one will care what you do. What's the harm if you try to become a musician? There are so many people who dick out of their dreams because they are afraid, and hell they deserve to fail. People don't wan't to idolize to someone just like themselves they want to look up to those who risked everything. And what is everything anyway? Everything is all the things everyone else has already had. Living life safe is old hat, 90% of everyone you know played it safe, so fuck it try something else. If our lives are so meaningless then whats the difference if you try and fail, or if you don't try and fail. I'd starve and die on the streets if that's what putting all your trust in your dreams and then failing means.
