I am a student.  My dad works at a steel mill.  My mom is a bum. My mom is a homemaker. I compete in track meets. I like music. My dad wants to hire a musician for my mom's birthday. My mom's surprise birthday party is the 14th of july. my mom likes Venetian opera music. My mom has not been out of the house in a few years. I go to school. I'm getting straight As in school.
I am gig worker.  I make money making music. My music speaks to me. i write songs. i play acoustic guitar. i sing. I make money painting. I have been in bankruptcy.  I live frugally. I had my appendix removed. i paint.
How is the song you are writing going? I  think I have writer's block, I haven't got any ideas. Do you have suggestions ? What about starting with your financial experiences?  Remember when you filed for bankruptcy?  Start from that point and let the music flow through you. I think it is a great idea, I could make it funny and upload to Youtube. Funny stuff is popular.  Oh yeah!  That sounds really smart.  "I didn't hit rock bottom, the bottom of the rock hit me!"  LOL  I can see it now.  Then you start gaining a real following.   Thanks for the inspiration, I could show also my paintings in the video. It would be free advertising. I will tell you when it is online. I can't wait!  You know, I wish my mom had the same drive that you do.  So tired of her just laying around all the time.  My dad just puts up with it.  I like that you are a real doer. Maybe she is suffering from depression, has she seen a doctor ? Only for standard checkups.  I wonder if she needs to see a psychiatrist.  Actually, my dad says she is fine and just really introverted.  I guess when I was younger she was in an accident and only really feels safe at home. Maybe she should see a therapist, maybe the accident caused some trauma.  Maybe.  I could be being too hard on her.  She is just capable of so much more and I'd like to see her moving and living! You should encourage her, going to therapy need some strength and some people who need it the most don't have it.
