My mom overheard me say this and pulled me aside. She said, “Why are you saying that? Why don’t you just tell them what you’re actually doing?”

I was like, “I don’t know. It just seems kind of embarrassing, like it’s not serious or something.”

She said to me, “Well, are you serious about it?”

I said, “Yeah, you know I am,” and she replied, “Then you should say that you’re doing the band full-time.”
