blushing all the way home

soph. seventeen years old from sydney. i'm a classical oboist who's probably taller then you. i'm a compeditive perfectionist and i don't like people who lie to me. i listen to country music, play guitar and dance in public. i spend an unnatural amount of time baking. one day i'll be an actor and get to do what i love, while getting paid for it.
P.S to all the boys who thought they would be cool and break my heart, guess what? here are 14 songs written about you. HA. Taylor Swift, in the thank you section of her first album
I think that you have to love it more than anything else. And you have to love it for so many more other reasons other than what you think the end result could be. Like you don’t make an album so that you can get a platnum record to hang on your wall. And you don’t go on tour so that you can hang the sold out plaques up in your bedroom. It’s so many little stepping stones. So many people have this idea that it’s like you get discovered, and then you get the record deal, and then you record the song, and then the song goes number 1. It’s never like that. It’s so many dead ends and switching directions, and going back and re-planning and rethinking and so many things that are so outside of music, that you have to love music so much, that just your hour and a half to two hours on stage every night is worth everything else that you’re gonna go through. Oh and i’d say play your own instrument cause it’s easier than carrying around you’re own karaoke
machine.
