When my sister dropped out of school to pursue music, my parents said she was ruining her life.
My sister works longer hours than I do and for less money. She’s not well known, mostly working the bar scene and a few private parties, but she loves it. It gives her hope that her dream is still within reach.
I used to agree with our parents, but now I can’t help envying my sister. I wish I loved something like she loves music.
I wish I dreamed wild, maddening dreams worth chasing into daylight, but I am already wide awake.
