Since the age of 13, I've always dreamed of being a singer/guitar player in a band and on my own. I've always wanted this ever since I discovered the band Oasis. They were my biggest inspiration and still are today.

I'm 20 now, and I still enjoy doing music, but not as much as I did when I was younger. It really disappoints me, but at the same time it feels good to open up about it since I felt as if I'd been trudging along doing the same old stuff all the time in my music career. I've done paying gigs, and it pays really really well. The only problem is it feels as if it's going nowhere now.

I took a psychology course my last year of high school and it really interested me. I never thought of being a therapist as a career, since at the time I was so set on making it as a musician.

I've been seeing a therapist who specializes in abuse, and I think what she does is really inspiring. She mainly works with kids who have dealt with abusive parents. After going to a few sessions with her, I've really considered working on a career as a therapist who helps people deal with abuse.

Of course, I would have to go back to school. Only problem is it would be really hard for me to go back, since I have no money to and I really really don't want to be in debt. If I ever come back to Sweden and become a citizen, I would be able to go to school without the risk of being in massive debt since education is free here. As far as I know, I only have to pay for a few things and it's nothing compared to what it's like back in the US where I'm from.

So I'm really not sure at this point. I can keep going along and working my way up as a musician, or I can work on trying to go to school to become a therapist. I have one LP and one EP so I definitely have that going for me, and I write all my own music. Maybe I could do both somehow if I was able to go back to school?
