Getting help. What's holding me back is my age and my parents

I am a successful enough of a writer to make a living from articles and crap jobs but my dream is to be a novelist. I've written three so far and I suppose that my one thing not yet done is get the courage to try sending them out to publishers again. What is holding me back? Two things. 1) The envelope I get in my mail 3 to 5 month later saying "Thank you but not for us at this time but good luck with yourself" and 2) Having to listen to well-wishers and other supportive types tell me how many times J.K. Rowling or Stephen King got rejected before they given a break. Those are literally the two things holding me back from publishing. That no one wants to publish me and that my friends are to supportive.

Starting my own business. Too much to risk but ... have to take that chance I guess 😐

I just did this and which you hearted the corresponding story. Thank you and God bless you!

I want to block everyone that's creepy but I can't :(

Get a good job.

Fall in Love and know what it really is like for real.

Travel the world

I've always wanted to find my "significant other." The thing that's holding me back, is the belief I'm not a viable candidate for that.

Finding that very special one

Only thing holding back is its not gonna happen
