Q: ive been staying at home all summer and making music, and it's been a pretty good time. my parents used to be really discouraging over me pursuing music but now they seem to have somewhat accepted it. anyways the only issue is that ive been working on a lot of stuff (producing songs + film scoring on logic pro w my new midi controller) but my parents seem very disinterested in seeing what i've been working on all summer and it makes me feel kinda sad. i get validation through my friends and even my siblings tell my parents that it seems like i really found a passion and am making some cool stuff, but they haven't once asked to see my stuff, and it doesn't really affect my desire to do what i wanna do, but it just makes me kinda sad. should i try harder to open up my music to my parents and show them this part of me or should i accept that they don't rly care and focus on the people who do
A: i think you might be trying too hard to merge your work with your personal life. i've found things can get awkward fast when you do that
