Friends and family dismissing internet desires

“Hi Jules. How do you deal with friends or family who don't understand the allure of being a creator? I’m in the Midwest and my friend group doesn't really participate in online culture at all – just sports and Netflix. I'm trying to become a full-time creator, and they talk to me as if I'm trying to become famous at all costs. Is this just a part of growing up and moving on to the next chapter of my life?” -Matt 

This is a common experience among people who want to start sharing online… myself included.
