We're all trying

I'd like to offer a glimpse of an artist's intimate life.

It seems that when we're young & in awe of the wonders of life, while our minds & hearts are open, the ones closest to us will yank us back down HARD to reality.

I'm sure there are artist out there who have had the privilege of having parents who supported their dreams, and for that I will always be jealous and maybe slightly resentful.

My family never knew riches and because of that 'job security' was always put above dreams or passion.

I get it, it's parental support in a form, but also soul-crushing.
