Fighting to make it in this world through music.

Music has such an influence on our mindset and views. We can fight it all we want, but at the end of the day it does indeed inspire us to do the big and small things we do in our day to day lives.

What upsets me the most is when amazing, talented, and kindhearted people like Conditions have trouble making it in the real world. The fact that they are not well known and a number one band is bittersweet. I know they have what it takes to be number one, however I feel as if not all fans would appreciate them as much as I do. Their music speaks the truth and refreshes my mind when I'm feeling lost. 

It is awful to see them have issues with going on tour because of financial reasons, and it reminds me that I am not the only one who has to make choices financially. I have a great respect for them, and they should be millionaires in my eyes. They should be paid due to their inspiration and due to their ability to speak the truth through their positive lyrics. There are hundreds of kindhearted bands and musicians out there that are struggling just like us, and that troubles my mind. Support singer/songwriters and grow an appreciation for their true love of music, it's not all about the media and Hollywood fame. It sure would be nice I'm sure of, but speaking to youth and society about troublesome issues and facts overpowers all and wins in my eyes. 

What do you value?

Our basic human want to feel beautiful and wanted are being tossed aside for the present feeling of acceptance, not even thinking of the future at all. Society is changing before our eyes. I feel like the minority when I look around and see the lack of values and the lack of care our society has for each other. Respect for a woman, respect in boundaries, respect in a relationship. RESPECT in general.

I think about alcohol a lot, I think of how it's crumbled my own personal world. I grew up around too much, I grew up where I would never put my own children. As adults we are entitled to relax, but where does the level reach excess? Do you have children? Responsibilities  A job? Because of my personal experiences I wish there were not a single drop of alcohol on this planet. It's ruined my family, and has brought many tears to my eyes. People do awful things when they drink, and say awful things they may not mean.

I've never felt the need to do what the cool kids did in order to fit in. Go out and party, do drugs, and sleep with whoever the wind blows your way. I've switched schools, I've been through the cycle. I have been a loner, and I have been surrounded by friends. My values never changed, always staying the same. I still have this value that many lack, I still stick to it, and it sets me apart.

I just wish society would see the beauty in who they could really be, rather than rip apart their beauty for the present feeling of acceptance.
