Today, the girl I dumped three years ago because she wouldn't take my band seriously is now a successful and rich environmental scientist. Meanwhile, I'm still unemployed, living with my parents, and can barely remember how to play a guitar. FML

In a way, YDI. It seems you were one of the idiots who had no backup plan just in case music didn't work out. But in another way, I respect you for attempting your dreams. Maybe try getting a stable job, and getting your life back on track, and one day maybe you could try again! Just keep a job, and another plan on the back-burner, just in case!

So what? You rather be in a relationship with someone who doesn't believe in you? You think you'd still be playing the guitar if you had believed in yourself a little more? You live with your parents because you haven't motivated yourself to live on your own. Haven't that girl in your life wouldn't change that. If she didn't believe in your dream then she probably didn't believe in you. She probably would've figured that out on her own and moved on to do what she's doing now because it's what she pushed herself to do.

35 - Although I don't like her music, Taylor Swift can sing and most of her songs aren't badly written. And she seems like a nice person. Anyway, OP if you get as famous as Taylor, don't forget to mention the FML community in your speeches:')

Actually I wonder why you compare, this is where you should project your bitterness and loathing. If you look at all the artists who were great, this is normally where they started from.

Agreed. My best work usually comes from being miserable and needing something to channel it into something.

Sounds like you didn't take your band seriously either if you barely remember how to play the guitar. And sounds like she has taken to heart the expression that living well is the best revenge.

As my music teacher says, if you are a musician you will be poor for a very long time. I guess she was right!

If you can barely remember how to play guitar only three years later, then your band probably wasn't worth taking seriously.
