I'm hard on myself. I don't like the reputation I have. I want to move out of my current home. I don't like being manipulated by others.
My name is Steve.  I come from a family of musicians. I'm a music lover. I am impatient. I started playing music at the age at 6. I started with a piano. I listen to System of a Down to feel better about myself. I am a vegan.
I've considered seeing a counselor. What you've told, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.  I'm sure they can help.  Any luck finding a new place to live? Thanks.  I think I have found a nice condo in a great community, which is exciting.  How long have you been a vegan? For about 10 years now.  Sometimes the smell of bbq makes me want to pick up a big fork full but I refrain.  Your condo sounds nice.  Do you access to a pool or gym? Yes, it has both, please beach access (I live in Florida).  Are you a full time musician or do you have another job? Beach? Sign me up.  Sounds like you're really going to like your new place.  I play in our local symphony, cello.  I have my parents to think for the music bug.  What type of music do you listen to? I mostly listen to country, 80's to current.  Do you still play the piano? I do, that's what I first started playing on as a child.  But we grow up and our interest change.  I listen to 80's as well.  Do you play an insturment? No, I do not have any musical talent like you.  Nobody in my family has the music bug.  What is your favorite genre of music? Believe it or not, heavy metal.  I love System of a Down.  I know it's not for everyone but it makes me feel better.  How are things going with your partner?  Still feeling manipulated? Not really, I have discovered ways to better work around that feeling.  Wow, Heavy Metal, that brings back old memories. Glad to hear that you're doing better.  It's hard to pull yourself out of bad situations but sounds like you're going to be just fine.  Heavy metal, oldie but goody.  I only listen to it when I'm in my car.
