This is a forum post I made today. It's pretty random, but I figured I'd share it anyways.
NOTE - Ignore the comment about kids, was substituting for monkeys!

Living with fear is a painful thing to suffer through. Doing so over the majority of my life makes me ask the question 'Where would I be if I had/hadn't....?' Luckily, I've ended up at a good spot in my life. However, I still live every day fearful of what others might think if I do this or that. I do my best to affirm that I don't care what others think, and that other people really don't care. Doing this helps, but internally I still act as though others are watching, waiting to judge me.
I'm still young, in my 20's, but I feel like, and I've been told, I'm in a quarter-life crisis. Dropping out of college when I was young, not following my passions when I had the opportunity, and now, being in a situation where following my passion is seemingly impossible (job, kids, wife, mortgage, etc).
I'm not giving up easily. I've discovered how to use opportunities in my current job/career to direct me towards my passion and dreams. (Currently working in mid-entry-level technology, wanting to move into engineering & physics)
We only have one go-around at life. We only have one chance to pursue our passions and dreams. I'm not letting life pass me by. It's funny how we realize things like these, even after hearing them dozens and dozens of times throughout our life.
