"Do it quietly.

Most people that love you will not understand and they may keep you from accomplishing your dreams because they don't want to see you fall on your face. But when someone really loves you, they'll let you fall simply because they'll be there to pick you up. They'll help fix you up. They'll mend your bloody knees.

It's impossible for people NOT to get into your space and flood you with doubt. All you have to say is, "No thank you." If in fact this isn't the right place for me, then I will know. But for now, I will keep on."

-From the wise and beautiful, Miriam Monroe
