Recently someone asked me what I wanted to do with my life. And I gave them a really crappy answer. I am so sorry.
The top responses I usually give:
1. I'm flying away to Neverland and I refuse to grow up...but thanks for thinking of me!
2. An English teacher...because then ppl shut up and leave me alone about it
3. Well...I just don't know yet--because then ppl don't hold me to my words in 3 months.
But since I really want to add another one, I am erasing that reality and substituting my own. I now say:
I am going to be a box-breaker, world-taker, generation-changer, history-maker, and a ppl-shaper. I am quoting myself. I am not going to settle into mediocrity. I am not going to fall into living only for myself. I am not going to 'listen to my heart' and get a sappy job at a soup kitchen(no offense, if you work at a soup kitchen, more power to you) I AM GOING TO GET RID OF SOUP KITCHENS. And psyhchologists. And juvenile hall. Why? Because I am going to change this world. I will not sit still. I will not be good and be quiet. I will speak up and I will not let you go until you listen to me. Don't take the crap others give you. Don't let another's reactions to you determine your priorities(ouch that one hurt me). If you are looking at the floor all your life, you will hit it. If you look up at the sky (into the STARS, Bethany) you will realize that there is no ceiling.
Off my soap box for now...
