The shit no one tells you when you have a dream..

Having a dream, and a risky one at that, with a specific vision that a lot of people don't understand, is really frustrating. No one ever talks about the beginning stages of having a crazy idea. They don't talk about the chances of it flopping, or the people who don't understand your vision. I think that's the most frustrating part, even though I've shared the full details with three people closest to me, and although they are fully supportive, they genuinely don't understand. This is most likely due to me being absolutely horrible at explaining my vision in a concise manner that makes sense. At the end of the day, as frustrated as I get with lack of understanding, I am fully confident in my long term and short term plan. When I say fully, please understand that I have never been prouder of anything I have done. I have my vision, and I believe in it. I KNOW it will work the way I plan, if not even BETTER than I have planned. Again, this is the part no one talks about.. All this sounds really great when you have a successful product in your hand. But at the beginning stages of creating something, it's almost like I expect people to roll their eyes and think I'm being crazy or cocky for standing behind it so strongly. Well here I am saying it loud and proud, and if it flops, oh well, I know that I fully believed in it and it was given my entire heart. How could I possibly be hurt if it's something out of my control? Actually, now that I think about that situation happening, I can see it being absolutely devastating. I'm starting to understand that whole "leap of faith" bologna now. Corniest phrase ever in my opinion, but so friggin' real.
