Ladies and gentlemen, I have a confession to make
For a moment we must disreguard the sillys so I can say something important
I'm not going to stop going for my dreams. I want to be an Astrobiologist and I want to study life in space and the things that are Out There.
People say "Oh Grassy, it's not worth it, it's more money and work than you have." "Become a dental hygienist Grassy, it's easier and cheaper and you said you were interested." "I think you just need to be realistic, Grass, the only way you can get a degree in this is if you work yourself to the bone and forever be in debt."
Okay? Well, maybe I'll never do exactly what I want. But maybe I will. Maybe I will follow my dreams so hard that things just work out for me because I make them work out. Maybe I try my hardest and it works and everyone else needs to stop being so cynical about it.
Maybe I will go to school and spend too much money and stress about writting my thesis and presenting it, but maybe it Does work out. Maybe they like me so much they have work for me to do.
I am going to be reckless because I'm tired of being safe and I am going to come out on the other side for the good or bad. I will deal with it as I go. I will live my life the way I want because it's my life. This is the only one. And no one's gonna live it for me.
