Andrew WK Advice: Never Give Up On Your Dreams

My wonderful and loving boyfriend sent this to me last week and I can’t get it out of my head how perfectly (and hilariously) well said Andrew WK’s response is to someone asking you to give up on your dreams for the sake of their own benefit. This blog I run here is a recent dream of mine, not even quite a year old. A little over a year ago I quit a stable job, I struggled with my identity, I beat myself up over my self-worth, but one day on a plane home from Mexico I had an idea, and today that idea has blossomed into a dream turned reality. I’ve felt grumbles, judgement, etc, for going forward with pursuing my dream, and I know I haven’t exactly made it easy on my friends, family, boyfriend while I’m building something that perhaps they don’t really understand. But I’m the first person to say if you don’t like where you are in life or if you’re unhappy, change it. Within reason of course, but change it. “You don’t HAVE to do anything in life but die”, my boyfriend likes to remind me, and he’s right, even though that’s kind of a morbid way of thinking about it haha, it means a lot of things can be made possible. I took a big risk, and I’m still taking a risk making this dream a reality, but it’s so much easier, and tangible, knowing I have people behind me who understand and more importantly, support my dream. For everyone else out there working hard on your own dreams, I’m with Andrew WK – never give up, and never let others dictate your future (even those closest to you). Energy goes where attention flows, and surrounding yourself with positive people make shit a whole lot easier – I know from experience. Your dreams are YOUR dreams: always be humble, reality check yourself on the reg, but never let other people determine your self-worth. And yes. Keep on partying.
