I know right? I know what it's like not to have any at all, for six years during my early teen years I lived in a car and ping-ponged between friend's houses just to sleep under a roof. I've learned the value of a dollar and although I was miserable, I was very happy.
Originally posted by ScytheIt may sound odd, but I'd actually quite like to live like that. I've known people who've lived that way, and even though they have no money, they're not tied down to possessions or anything, and generally seem like overall more full-rounded people.

Yes, that life is quite interesting. All the cool people you meet and you learn so much. Having to use every resource you can, it's great, but call me lazy, now that I have income, I'd much rather buy my food now.

Yeah, and in my entire struggle for finding a clean and steady life, I learned a lesson that truly shattered my dreams and logic. Music doesn't pay, the whole entertainment biz isn't cut out for originality and bold moves. That really upset me, to know that the one thing I've always wanted to do with my life is all a sham and won't take you in unless you're a flavor of the month or cater to everyone's expectations except your own. Nowadays, music is just a hobby to me now. Like a lover, I'm disgusted in seeing it but offers me cheap thrills.
Originally posted by ScytheDamn, that actually really moved me. I know what you mean too, obviously not from experience, but what you say means sense. It's like people don't want people who really are passionate about music and their work anymore, just a new glammed-up quick fix of cheap entertainment to appease their shallow tastes.

I wish I would've known this when I was 13. really.
