I genuinely need help. I want to do music as a career(as in some type of performer). I don't need to be famous. I just want to live off of it. I've been playing piano for two years and I still feel like I'm behind. Sometimes I can't remember my sharps and flats (YES! THATS HOW BEHIND). I do all the work, my whole heart is into it. I play everyday. It seems nothing I do is good enough. This summer I didn't do piano lessons, or played. I could barely shower or eat, my least worries were piano. But now it feels even more hard then before :(. I want to be a pro, or at least really really good, any tips?

Improving.

Hellooo!! I would highly encourage you to be compassionate to yourself and to take small breaks. When you're doing an activity for as long as you are, your brain is physically shutting down; this causes you to not retain most of the information you're learning. I recommend you look at other peoples playing styles and try new complex pieces! YouTube is helpful for that!!
I also encourage you to have a backup plan or another education. I'm not discouraging you from your dreams, if anything, I encourage you to go and play. In the height where AI is taking over humanity and art, we need your talent more than ever. However, society is cruel and punishing for people who want to be in the arts for themselves. Do not die or you won't be able to play anymore
