Indeed! When i tried to stay away from friends who spread negativity, i've got myself more chance to know people with positive energy, and they would encourage and support me in things that i do.
I have been hearing people said that, choose a job that you love or interested in, but i wasn't fully understand the meaning behind it and i was still confused with my life back then. But now i realized, interest and passion in my job is so important to motivates me to go extra miles in order to be excel in it. Glad that u eventually found your passion in writing while making a living on it!
