As humans we are raised and taught how to live and co-exist, and in these teachings we make our own choices and carve our own paths. We have muses and mentors who prove to be a guide to our own growth and unless you're willing to bet all your dollars on the fact that you can be the next success story you fall into one of two traps: Eat or be Eaten.
I've been called a "dreamer" and these special little people have a tough time convincing themselves that they bear a purpose on this earth that can be truly and artistically appreciated, you're the sensitive type that can sometimes absorb negativity from a hater or someone trying to sway you into another "society-approved" direction forgetting that your inner soul stands to suffer long-term, I call this a "slow-death".
How many times have you been told - "get a job that makes REAL money!" or "You need to put food on the table" and here's another one of my favourites "Beggars can't be choosers", sadly this is what the world has come to, we are slaves to Society, slaves to money and most importantly slaves to our needs.
Envision a young single mother of one who has bills to pay,a child to look after and a life to live, she simply cannot have a healthy balance of her own wants and needs when she has to put her bigger responsibilities in front of her. Many times people end up giving up and life becomes less of a pleasure and more of a burden.
Life is tough and at times can be a whole bag of burden, but what is most important is the positive people you surround yourself with, your achievements (big or small) and knowing that at the end of the day you DID put some food on your table someway,somehow, while working nine to five just to stay alive.
