Life isn't black or white, it has colors and crazy things that make it super worthwhile. At times we bring ourselves down just because of the things not turning up the way we would like to. It's part of life to have unexpected but the thing is to not let the bad cloud your view to be able to see the good.
Since the beginning of life we have always belittled or talk bad about the people who went the other way than the majority and yet at the end of their road we celebrated them for taking on the challenge to go after what they wanted. It's still going on to this day.
Don't worry about about others, and do it up. Go after your goals because you have no idea whose fire you're lighting. You might get ridiculed at first but believe me, you're giving someone else the power to take their first step because they saw it was possible, not that scary from seeing take the leap of faith.
