It's all around me, i hear it nearly all the time and i'm tired of it. I don't and cant be like everyone else around me, i'm different and i don't want to be in a job i hate.

Sometimes it's really good to find posts like this bobbing out there in the sea of Google. Your blog was like a message in the bottle for me. Thanks so much for that extra little push that I need, so that I don't forget my dreams to make my own place in the world. There's no such thing as unrealistic because I put my ALL into it - it's tough and sometimes I just want to scream, but it still is the one thing that drives me when I wake up each morning! Beside I love "my world" because it is full of things that inspire me - nothing to stop me from reaching my dream. Much better than the reality that others try to push on me! Nice!
