It took some fortitude for Sara Bareilles to reject the easy life

So as I was reading about Sara Bareilles and watching a good amount of her interviews, and trying to put myself in her shoes, I began to think about the move she made from California to New York, stating a desire for change from her stagnation at the time. So, I am curious about the amount of resistance she encountered from family and friends. Because its easy to be influenced by the opinions of others, especially when the vote is unanimously against you. In this case it turned out be a genius move for her, which changes my whole conception of following advice of other people. How thinking for ourselves is not something to be thrown away when the overwhelming majority see it differently. I don't want to get carried away with this philosophy because too much of anything can prove detrimental. But there is a pattern in her life, from what I have already gathered. Sara Bareilles has a history of proving people wrong. At some point, majority opinion has got to weigh down on a person, but in her case man, I don't know. I can only come to one conclusion. This girl is stubborn as hell, and whats crazy is that its freakin working for her. That's whats gets me!!
