No matter how much validation they give you. It’s never enough. The good feelings you get from it don’t last long. You always want more.

So you start to abandon it and it’s like people can pick up on it, they can smell you operate off of your own free will & drive and then start to question your life motives.

And once they realize it doesn’t compliment the status quo. You become this target of criticism and all it does is make you want to be different even more once you see how easily they’re willing to make you feel like there’s something wrong with you for simply going down a different path that has no impact on their life.

People are funny.
