"Dreams are Real, All You Have To Do Is Just Believe"-Ashanti "Dreams"

Well, I have took a step forward towards my dreams of becoming a singer by signing up for vocal lessons. They are $80 bucks a month, and I go to the class every Friday. It's a group thing, which I'm kinda wary about, but its the cheapest class i could find. Now I really don't have the time nor really the money to take these classes. But I feel like if I don't take this chance, I'm not taking my dreams seriously. Maybe I'm just over thinking it.



I mean this is what I've wanted my entire life. Being logical, I'm in school, and I plan on having a degree to back me up, but I really can't see myself doing anything else but singing! I have to decide by Weds. on what I'm going to do. What should I do?


My Inspirations (in no particular order):

Lady Day


Anita Baker


Teena Marie


Raphael Saddiq


Erykay Badu


J Dilla


Quincy Jones


Jill Scott


Monica Blaire, She's a local artist here from Detroit and she is dope! Look her up!

    Lol thats soooo the truth right there.
    Do what you have to do, because if you dont its gonna start wearing on ur conscious.
    So I say take the classes, believe in yourself & run away with ur dreams

  5. oh dear. I think you should totally go for it.
    Here's a quote for ya...

    " Make no little plans, they have no magic to stir men's blood and will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble and logical plan never dies, but long after we are gone will be a living thing."
    -Lita Bane

    Think it pretty much says everything I wanted to :)
