I’m 18 and don’t come from a good household. My dad died when I was 6 and my mother is a raging alcoholic. I’m recovering from a bad hand injury (split my hand open & ruptured 2 tendons) I’m really struggling with life. I can’t work for at least another month because my surgery was 8 weeks ago. There’s no permanent damage but it really sucks. I’m able to drive and write now. Anyway, I’m really worried about the future. I don’t want to just be miserable forever like my mother. I want to live a life I couldn’t otherwise. I’m going to be completely honest, I don’t know where to start. I’ve read both of your books (multiple times) MJ, I originally joined the form back in February 2019. I’m no closer now than I was back then. I haven’t done shit. I’m totally willing to commit to becoming Unscripted . Can someone please tell me about there early days before they went off of one of there ideas. Ideas are everywhere I just haven’t chosen one. So many options, it’s overwhelming. I really would like to help people. I feel like I’m just wasting my time because I can never get started. I just throw around ideas like an idiot. I’m not gonna post one thread and leave I really do need this. Can someone please reflect on this?
