I love her.

The way I see it #260

"Playing in an independent rock band will eventually make you equal parts truck driver, gladiator and mule. Glamour is for those with trust funds."
- Neko Case

The other day you told me that you want to be a rock star. And I felt that fear that parents feel when they have a daughter who is dating someone who wants to be a rock star. It's not my daughter, but I felt something close to that feeling.

I'm trying my best to be a dream embracer/encourager. So part of me is hopeful of the great things that come with being a "rock star" = Influence, ability to be creative, travel. But most of me is wary of your dream. Probably because you didn't define it as being in a band, or a musician but most definitely a "rock star" to me which describes one with some talent or skill, addicted to attention/substance, groupies, excess in everything and most definitely temptation at every turn. I hope you have eyes wide open to what you're stepping into.

People who walk in the way are definitely needed in the entertainment industry. Just check yourself, what exactly are you pursuing?
