Sharing your dreams with everyone may just open you up to a host of unsolicited and dear I say well-meaning but misguided advice. Your friends may mean well when they try to steer you towards the safe route. However, you know this route quite well. You’ve been on it for several years and you are not happy. I’ve been on my route for 6 years now and I just got off at the last exit. It feels so good to choose to follow my dreams and not the dreams that other people have for me. This experience has brought me sheer joy and I crave more of it. Happiness is a choice.
