Going against the tide and choosin your own lane requires determination and bravery. You only fail when you stop. Once you've decided to step out of society and follow your heart hoping to make revenue from your craft, you've subconsciously made a pact with yourself that from now on, that you're on your own. if you win, it was because of your persistence and hard work. and if you fail, it's because you chose to stop. People are hit with obstacles everyday, there are no excuses. you're either down with your dream and the hard work that comes with achieving it, or you're not. the difference between those who are successful and those who aren't, is will power. Lack of willpower is a weakness and if you don't feel that you are strong enough, do not continue this journey. Once you step out of society and start following your dream it will be extremely hard to start over. But salute to those who have, those who have branched out and have decided to follow their heart. You won't regret it, as long as you keep going.
