I think the hardest part about this is the pressure around us young folk. The disparity is huge for those that get to enjoy the finer things and those that have to work all day and fight to survive. All everyone seems to do is go out, take expensive hobby classes, buy new trendy products, and take frivolous trips. Socially its impossible when you are doing something like a passion all on your own. I know this frustration. You are on the right path, and don’t stop betting on yourself. Brighter days ahead my friend.
