The people who love you the most are usually the ones giving you the hardest time.

Family.

Brothers.

Inside jokes.

Movie quotes.

The kind of ball busting only the people closest to you can get away with.

Nobody wants to hear about your vision forever.

Eventually, they want to see you get in the end zone.

Thirty six thousand words written.

Big goals.

Big ideas.

Then somebody hits you with:

“I’ve never read a book.”

Support doesn’t always sound like support.

Sometimes it sounds like a joke at your expense.

Maybe they’re right.

Maybe I’m nuts.

Either way…

Just give me till Christmas.
