you want to become an artist that is so
cool
what do your parents think about it i’ve
not told them yet
i’m not sure if they would support me or
not
why not if i were you i would be honest
with them
tell them why you want to become an
artist and let them know how happy it
would make you
i think all parents want their kids to
be happy

my parents yet no i have not
i told you as soon as i found out let’s
