Why do people stop working towards achieving their dreams?

:financial struggles

Hope this helps clear it up a bit. Is my personal experience, it doesn't have to be this.

There's a bunch of reasons that i can think of right now.

What do you love to do at night when you’re alone?

Telling others about your dreams. They can then ridiculize you. And you can begin to kind of..back off.

:friends/family influence

I was born with plenty of..talent. I loved singing, and dreamed about being a singer, but i was told that I wasn't pretty enough, and did i have a voice! I loved drawing but my mom kept on telling me how useless that is and that artists die in hunger. I loved justice, and wanted to become a judge, but my parents kept on telling me that i am not smart enough. So.. I gave up on doing things i loved and dreamed about. Now, I started dreaming again, now, when there is no influence arround me anymore to suppress who i am, but following my dream now comes at a cost; a cost i can not afford. I didn't give up on this one yet but seems financially impossible.

What was the most inappropriate thing your parent caught you doing as a teen? Was in the bedroom, I thought nobody else was home. My sister and I shared that bedroom but I knew she was gone. I didn’t know my dad was home though.

:not enough support
