I whole-heartedly agree. I've had many dreams crushed by well-meaning, siblings, parents, friends. I remember the day I declared I wanted to be an actress when I grew up. I was 8 years old and came to this conclusion after a really great day at school where I got to read a part in a play. I was quite impressed with myself and thought I'd never felt anything more delightful than expressing myself as a different character. My proclamation was met with an overwhelming--hell no! by my mother. Squashed dream #1. Oh what could've been had I been imbued with a sense of anything is possible instead of a "that's too difficult, you'll never make it." Grrrrrrrr. Parents! I love this commentary.
