Oh yeah I've had that conversation over and over. I'm well aware of the reality of a profession in music, but I also have realized in the 10 years I spent in corporate America that I can't live that life.

Someone said "don't get a career in the arts until you've exhausted all other options". It was annoying to have to constantly convince my mom that I was deeply unhappy in those roles, but she's come around a bit more especially because I'm actually finding success following my passion.

It's a rough road for sure, but I've found avoiding unhappiness is not the road to happiness.
