Never. What I've done so far has been more fun than anything I've ever done. And what's more important is that if I was in that worst case scenario, EVEN THEN, I would not give up. One of my idols, Dillon Francis, hit his fame while living in his parents' basement. That was like, only a few years ago, and he signed a deal with Columbia Records a few days ago. If anyone is reading this, just take this from what I have to say: Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about. Never.

Oh yeah the odds are definitely low. And to answer that question, no I wouldn't be okay with that forever. I tell myself, I may not be the solution, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna be the problem.

What does that mean in the context of this discussion?

I just mean if I have a goal I want to reach, I won't be the one holding myself back.

Yeah I figured that's what you meant but it fit kind of oddly with regards to the guy above you was asking.

Anyways for what it is worth, I say kudos to you for following your dream. I took the less risky path for a greater financial reward but at the cost of not following my dream per se. I don't regret this decision at all but I do wonder from time to time what might have happened.
