Ambition!

Hey guys!

   I've always been a passionate person, and I'm passionate about a whole lot of things such as music, the arts, equal rights, LGBT youth, mental health and so on. However, as much as I want to fix all of those things, or do my best to make a change in those areas, I've never really had the ambition to work solidly on a specific project or career.

   When I was in year 12 (that's the last year of high school for those not in Aus), different universities would come to the school and do little presentations about what degrees, diplomas, and special services they offer for students in the first year, and even though I was being presented daily with thousands of possible futures, nothing ever jumped out at me; that was four years ago.

   I went to university for 18 months, which was half of my degree, and before the end of my second year, I decided I couldn't handle the pressure, and left. Leaving university was the best decision I ever made, because in the two years that followed my leaving, I had the time of my life and came so incredibly close to finding out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Perform, and bring music to those whom need it.

   The reason I'm telling you the back story is because over the last month or two, I think I might have finally found my ambition, and something I truly want to work towards. My city has been closing down music venues left, right and center, which is terrible. My city is flooding with local talent that deserves to be expressed, so my ambition is to open my own venue, for all ages, where everyone can come and enjoy the type of shows I've been blessed enough to attend over the last six or seven years.

   Don't get me wrong, this is going to be a BIG job, with many hurdles to leap over and problems to tackle, but there's something inside me that can't let it go. It is wrong to take music away from a city that is famous for it's laid back culture and award-winning tourist spots. The amount of kids I know that rely on music to get by is the perfect reason to stick this out - I was like them once, and still am in ways; I want to do this for them.

   Sorry it's a bit of a heavyish post haha, but I wanted you all to know what I've been thinking about lately, and where my life is heading.

I hope you all support me in my endeavours, and I will do the same for you.

Love love,
