You're so mature considering your age, and I believe when you're 30, the things you write will make people's hearts vibrate with emotions.
I never have any validation. Taiwanese education system trains you to become an expert to pass the exams, from elementary to college. I never have a thought for my future and never have a passion for anything.
At 33, I found out I love reading English classics and started really typing the words in May. I probably never will get the validation to have a chance to pat myself on the back that more than 10 hours every day writing without a penny, the efforst are worth it.
Self-validation is a tough lesson and I probably use forever to reach its spirits and essence.
