I think it's a common factor for a lot of people deciding on taking up things... Maybe not directly, but if there's concern regarding appearances while undertaking something new or worries about how it'll look to others, to an extent it's a matter of people's expectations and our conforming to what will appear normal—what suits us, in other words. The issue has many forms as well, from the tangible undertaking of things to personality traits and life styles.
Life is hard, man
And though things are progressing a little, things like intolerance, prejudice and ignorance are still pretty common and make a real ordeal of it all. I hope perhaps ambitiously that maybe writing WisteriA will help alleviate some of the burden.
