We heard it more times than we can count.
“Nobody wants to see that.”
“That’s too weird.”
“You should take yourselves more seriously.”
“That’ll never work.”
Some of those people genuinely wanted to help. Some just couldn’t see what we could.
If we’d listened every time someone told us to be more realistic, none of this would have happened.
Whatever that weird idea is that won’t leave you alone… don’t let someone else’s fear become your future.
