What is it all about? Give up your life. Devote yourself to a common cause. You are a fool if you expect others to make you feel better about yourself. Lose your family, lose your home, lose your friends for your cause. At the end the only thing you will have is public humiliation. Defamation from your peers. Ridicule. Shame. Do it for love, do it for passion. Do it to sleep better at night. Do it anyways. Be proud that you gave up everything for something you believe in.
What if no one else sees it that way? No one in your house, no one in your family, no one in your circle of friends, not even your community? SO?? You tried. You gave it everything.

Where does it go? Nowhere really. Nowhere you want to be. Older. That's not where anyone wants to be, but that is all you will have at the end. Pride? No, they took that too. Love? Always keep that. No one can take that away.

What does it all mean?

My brother and his wife died October 17th, 2009. One week after my business Grand Opened. All I could think was "œthis stupid store kept me from being with them that weekend, and they were on their way home to see my store." I closed off and started growing cold.

I get things back on track a little and found what really matters. Save the family, save the marriage, save the friends, lose the store. I did, and it was liberating. Public bashing and slander commenced, but I wasn't interested anymore. I wish you all the best. I'm no longer a fish store owner anymore. For the record, I just work here. Officially, paperwork and documents and everything.

It all out there now, and I finally after losing everything am proud of myself for trying. I hope you find what really matters and enjoy it, that is what it all means. I love the fish and my family, and that it really all I want to do anymore.

Crystal there is nothing wrong in fighting in what you beleive in. I do it everyday and have for almost the past 11 years. You can take pride in it and no one and can take it away I know what its like to bad mouthed Ive even had friends do it at times. Its whats in your heart that matters. I wish you the best and all others who read this. You know if everyone helped each other none of us would need anything.
