I have been thinking about starting a chocolate business out of our home with my mom. It is something we have been doing since I was a child, and we have sold them once or twice for baby showers and a few times for a wedding. It's something I enjoy doing. It keeps me engaged and focused.

I am really passionate about it. I have written out prices, supply lists, the amount of monthly income we'd need to continue a business. It seems doable if the profits come in, and going by the people who like our product, I think it will be okay.

I am really serious about it all, I started testing new recipes, designed packaging, etc. The thing is, I want to quit my job to put my time into this idea. I am tired of being the 23 year old that has amounted to nothing more than a few awards from high school. I want to enjoy my work, since I have trouble enjoying anything else. But I know if I quit my job to pursue this, I am going to face such a back lash from people.

I just want to do one thing, one damn thing that keeps me going. I just don't know if it's bravery or stupidity.
