There is nothing more common than talented people who never get the life they want, society doesn't reward "being talented," society rewards "using that talent to create something that people want."

"I grew up in a home where saying no wasn’t an option. A no would get you a stern lecture, a long grounding, or worst of all, a withdrawal of love. So as an adult, I became existentially terrified that every no would come with some sort of blowback, such as losing a friendship, an opportunity, or someone’s good will. And now I give my time—and my life—away, sometimes to people who have been publicly shitty to me."

Life is funny.

Give a man a book and he'll read for a week.
Teach a man to follow his curiosity and he'll read for a lifetime.
