Trying to make a Decision

I come from a very musical family that encouraged me to sing and play instruments.  I was in the choir in high school and played piano, violin and flute.  When I was in high school, I started to write some songs after a teacher thought I could write.  So I decided to take a chance and have one of my songs critiqued.  The feedback was good since it was one of my better songs but I wonder how my other songs would hold up.  I know it is a long shot and it seems to be one of those things that happen to other people... but I promised myself this year that I would give this a real try and put in a REAL effort.  I have people that believe in me but it is also frustrating when any momentum you had going forward is cut down.  I have tried to contact pr firms, different music labels and artists for some advice in trying to strengthen and develop my career.  Some of you may laugh at me... and that is fine, I understand.  However, I don't want to look back at this and say that I never gave it a REAL shot and regret it. I will try to take a break from it and come back with a fresh perspective.
