Money isn't as important to me as some people think it is. It is because of this misconception that I often here the words, "Get a job.." or the ever-present, "What do you want to do?" It's not that I don't want a job, and it's certainly not true that I want to be a bum all my life. If you think this of me, then I am sorry. I am sorry I won't settle. The fact is that I know my qualities, I know me(to a certain extent). In all reality I would rather be making just enough to get by, than be making millions and hate the job I do. Everyone is influenced by his/her environment, and I am not any different. Contrary to others though, I am not willing to let myself be sucked into the same lifestyle others opted for, one that so many Americans and World Citizens opt for. What most people don't understand is that finding out what you want to do takes time, and a lot of patience. People don't have patience anymore. Everyday I discover something new about myself. I don't know if it's because I am young or because I strive for knowledge, not only about myself, but about he world around me, everyday. I know I'm dealing with my future here, I'm smart enough to know that. It is exactly for that reason that I need to take my time. I'm trying the modeling thing, and I think that will go really well, but as for what others want me to do, I'm not so sure about that. I'm not sure of what I want to do for the rest of my life, but I know this: I don't want to be living for someone else, or worse yet, living someone else's version of what is good for me. I'm a grown kid for gosh sakes! I might not have my life together in your eyes, but it is in mine. Don't come to me and tell me you know better, because, in all actuality, no one knows better about my life than me. LET ME LIVE. I'm not complaining, so maybe you shouldn't either, ey?
