    Hi guys Gamed here,

    Since I saw the London opening ceremony I have been in depression because I had to turn down a offer to compete. I feel as I gave up on the sport I love (boxing) because it wasn't what everyone else wanted. I don't know what to do with my life I'm 18 and I made around 100k last year from personal training and other things. While that makes me happy with myself I still can't live with just giving up because people said it wasn't a good life choice.

    My amateur record is 31-0. Should I take up boxing again and try to fulfil my olympic dream or go pro. Or would the better choice be stick with what I'm doing.

    I don't mean to be rude, but screw what other people think! Honestly, right now, I wouldn't care if you didn't like my advice and completely ignored it because you don't agree, because honestly, I don't care if other people don't agree with a choice that I make and am proud of.

    I was contemplating whether to become a democrat or a republican a few days ago, I was leaning towards the democrat side. Unfortunately, my parents didn't agree with this.(all of the members of my family are republicans.) Thankfully, I don't care what they think and my decision on what political party I join will not be affected and I am extremely proud of that.

    Listen, what I'm trying to say here is that no matter what other people think of you, go with what you believe is right. Don't forget to keep working hard on it, and if you are given something good for it, or have the opposite of any benefit (if not have something bad happen because of it) then you'll know if the decision you made was the right one.

    That's all I have to say, hope it helped! Good luck!

    If that's what you love doing, then go for it and don't listen to anyone else.
