So here I am at 22 years old and honestly excited as hell for my life. I feel however, this change in my demeanor, attitude, actions, and goals will be too much to handle for my past friends and family. I feel that they will drag me back down to the drudgery of what they call "life". I know my potential is HUGE but I have had times where I shined too much and others attempted to drag me down. I am going to surround myself with gogetters and winners but I have a fear in the future where I will meet these people again and I will go back to my old life. How do you guys deal with this and did you guys have a similar fear? (I realize this fear is kind of irrational as it is in the future and might not even happen but it is still there and something that I feel is holding me back from my true potential. I also do think my brain is doing this to myself so it doesn't want to change. Stupid brain :/)
