Yeah, you are!
Hmm... sort of like... it's hard to explain, but I couldn't communicate properly with my parents. And I'd try so hard to do as they'd like, but it took me a long time to 'get' what they were saying, thus them getting frustrated.
Basically, I decided 'screw this, I'm going to be me and they can like it or not'; and it was after I was trying to prove myself to them & others that I began to find myself. Because I'd copy my siblings, say, because I thought that I'd be more successful if I did that. So yeah, I just basically one day decided that I was going to be me.
I think I really developed when I started getting proper clarinet lessons (so about 4 years ago), when I decided I wanted to follow music as a career. Then I just started working on my own skills, instead of trying to copy others, and now my parents and I understand each other much better, and I have learnt to communicate better as well.
Which is saddening..
My name? Well, it be Helena, matey. Is Ray your real name?
I used to do that too... and I really want to start listening to music again (I haven't just put on a song in a while)
Not yet! I will though; I'm busy tomorrow, but the next day I have not much on, and I'm free on Saturday, so hopefully I'll be able to get to it!
That's awesome! I can never draw animals or pokemon or whatever.. That's brilliant! :)
