When I was young my parents told me I could be anything I want and to do what I love, but as I got older I realized what they meant was that I can be whatever is financially stable and acceptable in society. But I can’t help think…what’s the point in that? Spending my entire life working up until I become old and frail, and only then can I do what I love? By then the motivation that I feel now to go out and enjoy my life will be gone. And even if I do feel any motivation to go out and do it, my options will still be limited due to my age. I don’t see the point in waiting around to enjoy my life because isn’t that just the point? To be happy, to fulfill your dreams and goals? I don’t understand it. Am I just a fool to believe what my parents told me? What everyone told me? I don’t want to have a paycheck dictate my life, is that too much to ask?
