Fear
The realization that all the dreams in the world and $5 will get you a cup of coffee. I became a realist at a young age.
[removed]
Lack of potential and opportunities, as well as poor mental health.
Kids and lack of money
Money
Debt
I found easier, more-fulfilling dreams, like getting a job in my field and my hobbies.
Getting sick and a horrible marriage really messed things up.
Can’t afford my dream life.
Failure
“No”
Celiac disease. Traveling internationally is a nightmare.
Realizing that it wasn’t for me. I wanted to be a doctor and worked my ass off to get to university and major in Biochem, and then realized that I just don’t have the right personality for it. I can’t handle doing everything right for a kid and them still dying. It’s not in me. And I’m glad I realized it before I went further.
Dreams don’t have to be forever, they can serve a purpose even when they’re not realized.
I am so happy I didn’t follow that path. If I had I wouldn’t have traveled, met amazing people, been in the wrong relationships, or learned the things I did. I have new dreams now, and they’re grand too.
Being sick for 11 years
My ex-husband. He did not want me to succeed or be successful in any way. He wanted me to always depend on him.
Money. I got a day job so I could pay bills, but I don’t have any extra time to devote to my craft.
Not having any to begin with.
