Stop Looking for Sympathy 🙄

You talk about it. Hey, it's a success story. When you're going through those things, if you know people are going to feel sorry for you, don't talk about it. That's just it. This is one thing I told Andy when I met him. Hey, I don't ever want to have my family worry about me. Now, I didn't have the perfect childhood. I didn't have a lot of things that other kids had. But I said, I never want to have my dad worry about me, ever. My mom, none of them. So if we ever go through anything, we're not going to ask him for anything. We're good. I don't want people to feel sorry for me, Period. Ever. We've been through a lot of shit. And the thing is that a lot of the world out there is so used to sympathy and making people, oh, it's okay. You don't deserve this. That does not help you grow. What helps you grow is the opposite of this. You complain to the wrong people, you find sympathy, you give up on your dreams and you're toast, you're done.
