Aww you guys are so nice
I love the people here sooo much.
I have to say... I have had such a hard time recently. Being a musician (and I'm sure if any of us ever sat down and had a 1-on-1 conversation w/ Vanessa she agree w/ me), is really difficult. Because it's such a pure and beautiful thing--music and singing and playing an instrument--but there are so many other little things that cloud the experience... Like dealing with shady club owners, flakey musicians, rude people, people who talk during your set, etc., etc. I could go on for days. But it is so nice to have support somewhere... So I just had a hell night and I have to say that it is so nice to log on here and see some support. I cannot really even express how much it means to me. Some days I just want to quit.... I know in my heart that if I just gave in I would regret it... so I keep plugging away and trying... but it's very difficult some days.
Thank you all for your kind words. I know that this is just a message board and it's hard to get tone and all that from words here -- but just know that I say this with 100% sincerity and I truly appreciate the support so much. And I hope I get to meet you all in person some day and give you a hug
