I mean my personal journey isn’t for everyone. But I’ll give you some perspective. 

>Went to college because it was expected of my family. 
>money came from moms life insurance. Lost her when I was young and didn’t get to say what to do with money.
>oh well.jpg
>try to be good boy for society
>study to become animal behaviorist
>get depressed learning about how the earth is getting raped all the time, bail and switch to meme degree creative writing cuz idk what to do.
>end up spending every dime I have trying to keep father off streets who lost business (the last of my moms life Insurance)
>have to move to NY to help take care of Grandad
>live there for 2 years doing all kinds of jobs from working as a real estate assistant, taking cheap head shots for young actors, and walking dogs.
>go crazy living in the city and being around family all the time.
>grandpa passes away and leaves me enough to move back west when combined with what I’ve made and then some.
>move and spend everything I made being a glorious NEET for four months like a retard
>say fuck societal / family expectations further and get a job at a Cannabis grow
>turns out I’m good with plants and become head grower within a year
>now I blast future funk and anime music at the temp trim crews that come to harvest what I grow
>help videographer friend shoot weddings on the weekend for extra cash 

I’ve had a lot of luck both good and bad in my life. But I only really started to feel like I was coming into myself when I moved back West and abandoned all societal expectations. Do what you love even if people tell you it’s crazy and find a way to make money. It takes time and force of will. There aren’t short cuts. All the financial aid I received and babying from my family did jack shit for my growth. I had to move away and do for myself.
