Hi,
Question: are you a perfectionist? If so, you will struggle with self-esteem. Perhaps it's a professional hazard. ANyway, if you could get a job in Music in Canada, you'd get free healthcare.
I still think it's important you level with your parents. You never know, give them a chance to surprise you.
And with regards to girlfriend, why not go online and be frank about who you are and what you want?
