To your quote about not letting other people influence whether or not I pursue my dreams and goals. Well, its a nice sentiment, but it's not reality when those same people have major influence over others' decisions, within each of these creative groups. They can easily blackball others from progressing forward. That is not something easy to navigate around.

Whether this is a reality or not really just depends on your determination to get out of the environment where you're clearly oppressed in some form. It really comes down to that. It may not be something easy to do, and I didn't mean to imply that it is, if that was your impression but it is really just what needs to happen. If you're in an environment where you have no control of changing it or the parts of it (the people involved) the only options you have are to accept it is what it is and remain oppressed or move on and find a better environment. Again, easier said than done but I do believe I am speaking the truth here and ultimately what is reality.
How badly do you want to pursue your passions? What are you willing to sacrifice and do? You can only remain a victim in a situation where you can't or won't get out of.
