im in depression. And I don't need people to tell me that again.

I thought I had actually done something rite. But I didn't.

I thought I could write poetry. My friends all were like

"HOLY CRAP THATS GOOD!'

So.

And then I just got rejected by people on yahoo that my poems suck really bad and they said not to write ne more.

Okay I suck. Im not happy about it but i really can't do much rite.

Ive played the piano for...years. 8 years.

And What if im not even that good either?

Im not that old.

Not into highskool yet.

But I thought i was good up until yesterday. When I was rejected by so many people...

I write songs. Not words (ne more) Just music.

What if thats bad too?

I know you can't hear it. Because.. yea. This is a comuter, and i have no files online.

But I just want to know that Im good at something.

The guy im in love with thinks im a weirdo and he hates me.

We were best friends last year.

I dont know what to do. Im lost.

Answer:

You sound like a very sensitive person, intelligent and talented. You've studied music for 8 years? You should know then that the journey of art is completely about how it makes you feel. How you express it in poetry or music is all about how it makes you feel. If others don't connect with it doesn't necessarily make it bad. Life is YOUR journey and if others want to join in on your experience then that's great. If they are telling you how to steer, when to turn left or right, to slow down, to go faster, that you are a terrible driver...maybe you should ignore all those voices and "drive" where you want to go. Let them worry about their own journeys. You are the master of your universe, sweetie. Your focus is everything. If you have fun at what you are doing, then you are learning and finetuning your interests.
