BEGINNING OF NEW BEGINNINGS

There is this thing that ive always told people not to do, "Never give up." I don't know about you but i do this a lot of times. As a youth, I've tried to do a lot of things to fit in the group. Be it music, photography, dancing, just anything that will make me look cool.
But in the midst of all this, i think i found my passion that i think I'll do for the rest of my life. I really fell in love with photography. Every time that i see a camera my heart just feels different.
But i think i have a big problem, i like listening to what people say, a lot. And every time a person opens up his/her mouth is telling me that photography is not a thing, you cannot do photography in full time, youll stay hungry for the rest of your life, i should not listen to them but i do anyways.
My friend told me you will not do it because DSLR's are very expensive, and there is no market for your work. That really go to me.
But i am hopeful that one day ill make it, one day ill buy my first camera and they will know that i was meant to do this, one day ill stop listening to what people say and focus on what really matters.
