Here’s the good part, it’s up to you to define your life. If you have people supporting you, it’s even better because you have more options. Think about what is important to you like money, career, or family. If you don’t care about those things then don’t make a life around them, you will be miserable. Just be honest with yourself about what you want, even if it’s not what others think you should want.
