Thank you for sharing your experience! Reading your story, as well as many others on HN, opened my eyes to this new, exciting possibility. It won't be easy, but I'll try to do it.

I guess the hardest thing is to fully trust yourself. Other people are just noise, as their opinions aren’t necessarily more backed up than yours. They often have a unconscious secret agenda that doesn’t fully take into account your well-being and the more someone is close to you, the more biased he/she is. “Don’t take risks”, “Don’t leave this place”, “Don’t leave me”.
