Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
You spend too much time on that computer, and not enough focusing on important things.
How I responded:
If writing is important to you, and expressing yourself ignites a passion inside of you then it doesn't matter what anyone else says. With maturity, and wisdom you will find your niche if you listen to your own voice. Your journey is yours. Don't let anyone else be the navigator. Surround yourself with positive people that support, and encourage your growth whenever possible.
