  • I think we only hear about the people that followed their dreams and succeeded. The countless others that failed probably wished they had some qualifications to fall back on...
    I don't think it has to be a choice. Get an education, then you'll have more freedom to really do what you want.

    I know you don't want to be famous or rich, but you have to be able to make a living to survive. It's worth investing a few years to know that if you can't survive just from writing, you'll be able to support yourself in other ways that don't have to suck so badly.

    • Did you ever asked yourself, why they failed in following their dreams?
      Most of those who wanted to follow their dreams and failed gace up at the first time they slipped and dropped on the ground. Instead of rising and keep insisting at all costs, they simply kept on the ground, being stepped on, being crushed by the others whose don't even deserve to have sucess.
      I don't care if others want to destroy me. And if I failed, when I die, I'll rest in peace (no pun intended) because I'll have the possibility to say that I tried and lived at my best, by not being stucked in the same place, without having the chance of meeting new people and learned new cultures and stories.

      • I did follow my dreams. It was hard. I tasted failure many times, but ultimately I succeeded. And, it was wonderful.

        I am not hearing something important in your expectations. Life is a journey. Your dreams are the destination. You will never get there from where you are now on your inspiration alone. You must be prepared with skills to make money in the short run, like waiting on tables. You must find ways to quickly acquire special skills that will be demanded as you move closer to your dreams. You will need good health, good motivation, good ability to save money, and social skills to fit in with small groups.

        Idealism is not an option, you must outfit yourself for the expedition. Consider study in a foreign country. Academics in South America over-emphasize the classics. And, start a blog; have a plan; don't sit still. Every day counts. Good luck.

        • Thanks for the advices. I've been changing myself little by little like exercising and eating more healty food, being more open minded in general and practicing my skills with writing. My self steem is way better than a few years ago and I think this will help me a lot on my way to follow my dreams.
