i’m constantly told to give up on my goals. they’re not even unrealistic, i don’t want to be a big, giant unicorn who saves the world or something.

My mother went all in on this philosophy, to the point that growing up I wasn’t allowed to have hobbies or be in extracurriculars unless I was planning to monetize them. The only thing it did was kill my self-worth and make me feel like all hobbies are inherently pointless, because the vast majority of people will never be able to make money on them. It’s such an insane, toxic ideology.
