Should i follow my dreams?

Right now, as I am sitting and writing this, I am really doubting myself. I mean what does it matter of what I think or want, because I put others’ first and I am horribly scared of taking risks. What if I fail? What if I make a fool out of myself? I’d be a downright joke. Well, I want to become a singer, but, my parents don’t think It’s a real job and my family thinks that I can’t sing. But in school, everyone who has listened to me singing has said that I can. I am really confused as to what I should do. Currently, I am saying that I want to be an interior designer (which I would like to be, but my real passion is to sing). So my life can be a little grounded. Don’t know what to do at the moment. Follow my dreams? Or please my family?

    Maybe try both? I don’t know if thats an option for you but maybe have the best of both worlds(sorry for the Hannah Montana reference) but if you go become an interior designer you could sing in your free time as a hobby and maybe make some money off of it, just a suggestion

    Do what’s best for you don’t live your own life for other people. If singings what you want then do it. No matter what anyone does it’ll never be perfect there’s always imperfections and failiures it’s what makes us stronger you just have to take it and learn from it without giving up. It feels great to prove a negitive person wrong you just have to work towards it. Plus nothing wrong with doing two things you don’t need to have only one thing to do and enjoy in life, explore.

      I disagree. You have to make enough money to live off of. Its not fair to mooch off your family after youre an adult. With that said keep chasing your dream. However do it with a job. I use to get angry my parents didnt support me while I was an amatuer boxer but now 10 years later I have a great career that my parents forced me into. I still box.

        Well obviously that’s partly why I suggested doing both. I don’t think you can necessarily jump into singing and making money you need to have something with it and making what you want a part time thing and if it becomes this popular thing and makes money yeah sure why not put the focus on it. I’m mainly trying to be supportive and say go for it on doing what it is wanted but I don’t want to explain all the obvious steps with making dreams happen I feel like it’s common sense enough.

        I’m a part time dog groomer still learning and look foward to owning my own buisness with it some day but in the mean time it doesn’t make much money just being a helper. So I have another job in which I got even before I got into grooming because I need something else to fall on until I make it. I’m not one to mooch off anyone ever if someone wants something they should do it themselves.

    If i followed my dreams i would probably end up in a prison because my dreams are considered wrong by society.

    FOLLOW DREAM BUT

    You need to support yourself. find a job that can put food on the plate and pay bills and while doing so continue singing.

    REGRET will never leave you when you'll be on your death-bed at 70 or 75 or maybe 105.

    and you will say to yourself life could have been different today.

    I don't know if you speak French but there is a French music about things in life you can regret then !
    It talks about a young woman that wanted to be a singer and her parents said that she should find a real job ...

    You should start by creating a YouTube channel and make covers !
    If you are creative you can make your own clips with friends !

    You can do it bro ;)

    Most likely neither will come true.

    When we are young, we want to be musicians or singers, sports pros, movie stars, or just some big huge dream job.

    Then as we get a bit older (late teens or early 20's), we realize that isn't realistic and just hope for a decent job, living in a nice home in a good neighborhood with a pretty wife or nice husband and respectful children.

    Then we get to our 30's and have settled for a shitty job, a spouse we hate, living in a bad neighborhood, and our biggest hope at that point is that our kids don't get into MORE trouble with the law.
    You go to work and bust your ass only to be told it isn't enough. You go home and have to put up with shit from some bitch of a spouse and rotten kids.

    So most likely, being an interior decorator or a singer, neither will happen. Probably be more of a soul-crushing job like the rest of us suffer each day.

    Keep singing but get a job. Dont stop singing but you cant not work for a paycheck right now. It would be immature to sit at home singing all day saying "Im gonna be a singer". You should be at work every day and still practicing your singing!

    I want to be an artist. Ever since I was in kindergarten it has been my dream to make cartoons of my own. Literally. My parents sat in a car with me and just kept telling me how i´d never make it. for the next few years I tried to make a new plan, I searched up jobs that pay a lot and at some point I began changing my future plans way too often, none of them just felt right. Then in my sophomore year of high school my English teacher asked. What if everyone became what they wanted to be? If nobody did it for the paycheck but because it was what they were passionate about? Imagine how much more advanced this world would be. So that´s when I decided enough switching around. I´m going to make cartoons. If I end up poor and hungry oh well. I guess I´ll starve. I´d rather starve than hate what I do, I´d rather be poor than waste my life for money instead of what I love.
