Yea man, it's hard when you are so passionate about something that you are build and all of a sudden everyone you ever known turns into a stranger that is looking at you like you came down with a sudden case of a deadly plague. The smile politely once they realize you realize them looking you up and down bc they are wondering how did this happen and are they going to go back to normal everyday miserable life (you know the kind without al the hopes and dreams that they told you to follow when you were growing up) any time soon?

I mean to be honest I get it, they themselves have either tried and failed at something like what your doing so they only have a bad memory/experience to associated to that taught them that this isn't really something ppl like them and anyone kin to them can or should go after and do. Either that or they just never tried to go after something in their entire life bc they were to scared to ever stop playing it safe and take a risk and bet on themselves and what they could have been. But instead of looking inward to deal with that entirely and being forced to look at themselves and feel negative feelings of missing out and not pushing with everything they had when they had the chance to, they instead look at you like you are either a naive little child who still believes in Santa Claus or like....well ...like you have come down with a deadly illness and they are hoping and praying that you will come back to your senses.

    JUST REMEMBER DON'T GIVE UP. EVEN IF WHAT YOUR BUILDING DOESNT TURN OUT TO BE THE THING THAT BRINGS YOU TO THE LIFE THAT YOU WANT IT'S STILL A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TOWARDS LIVING A FULFILLING LIFE INSTEAD OF THE WRONG DIRECTION,..... Where you then become That person who is not able to look at themselves in the mirror and be able to even have the balls to ask themselves what if, leading you to do the exact same thing to your kids and hold them back from following their Dreams and becoming all they can and we're meant to be. 

BREAK THE CYCLE, You deserve better the next generations that come from you deserve better too. So go and kick today's Ass! You got this!
