As crazy as it sounds, it honestly didn't seem as impossible as it turned out to be. I had the resources, I had the (moral) support, and I was doing okay for a few months. Then life happened, as it is wont to do. I was forced to put a lot of things on the back-burner. I won't say that I gave up on any of my aspirations, but they became very difficult to justify actively pursuing, practically speaking. And obviously, we can take the sound-bite quotes from successful people...
