That's a very solid point and good question for me Joseph. I initially picked this topic, well had help picking it as well, because of the storyline. Being a musician, I've been pursuing my dreams hardcore for about 7 or 8 years now. Coast to coast, recording, touring, playing festivals and everything. There came a point not that long ago that i hit that crossroads and was living out of my van and almost becoming Don Quixote in the sense that i had it all under control. I didnt need a house. I had mine. I was this free-spirited drummer who was going to die trying to make it big. Towards the end of my time in LA freelancing and struggling, i had caused a great amount of pain on my friends and family back home. People were really worried and i essentially was losing grip on reality and real life, what's happening right in front of me you know? So to answer your question, I don't consider chasing my dreams delusional..and I will never stop chasing them, I just know that there comes a point in time  where you have to listen to the people that care about you the most and realize when to step back and take a break even when in your mind nothing can come between the two. Great question brother.
