There are several things about people that annoy me. The one that I am talking about here is people who won't let you be. I see a lot of people in the world trying to make a living at what they are good at. As well I see these people not getting anywhere because the people around them (ie, friends and family). These so called friends and family purposely do what they can to make sure that these people fail and go something else because the person is not doing what they want them to do. I have a friend who is a really good artist. She makes enough money that she can pay her bills and still live. Her friends and family though don't like because it is not what they want her to do. They will steal her art supplies and even trash some of the best art work to try to prevent her from making money. They do it because she is not doing what they want her to do. I think that, that is not right or fair to my friend.

Oh my gosh, that isn't very nice! If we love somebody we should know how to appreciate and acknowledge his/her passion. For them to succeed they need us to support them, because without group support how are we able to feel the sweetness of success. Whom do we share it with?

That is kinda offending. We are here friends or family to advise and suggest things but at the end of the day its the person whose going to decide what will be the carrier he wants to pursue or the way of life he wants to live. Even if the follow us or not, we have to respect and be happy for them as long as they love what they are doing. I am a father and i support my children when it comes to what they like, there might be some kind of rules since they are minor but i do respect the things they want to do and pursue. I hope one day your friend`s family and friends realize that if that what makes you happy, then they must be happy also. It`s his life after all, i hope they give him freedom !!
