this kind of put into words something I’ve thought about a lot but never really said out loud

especially the part about wondering when people stop trying

loved this! the part about wondering whether the people around you gave up on a dream and the life they have now was merely the backup plan really resonated with me. it makes me so sad to think how many art teachers, for example, settled for classrooms instead of art studios.
