"Don’t let someone dim your light, simply because it’s shining in their eyes.
 
Not everyone will be supportive of what you’re doing. Some will balk. Some will tell you not to waste your life on pipe dreams. Some will treat your desire to write like it’s nothing more than a hobby, and will judge the way you use your time. 
 
Know that it’s not you. It’s them.
 
Shine on."
