just stuff

ok so i'm in my leaving cert year ( bout time i know) .. and i know im not the only one who is confused about "the rest of one's life"
but why is that "defined" by going to college.. or finishing school..
people always asssume that the best things to do is go to college after school but that isnt always the case.. im not saying its a bad thing but its not ALWAYS THE BEST THING!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont want to be another typical person who is pressured into college not knowing what i want to do so ... uh... i just pick arts for the sake of doing something???

********disclaimer******** - if arts is what you want then thats great but for the majority its not
so no offence if your doin arts

im sick of other people deciding whats best for me.. let me make my own decisions.. let me make my own mistakes and let me be me..

i know for the most part , your parents have your best interests at heart but NEWSFLASH!!!!! just because their your parents, that doesnt give them some superpower over you that never lets them be wrong...PARENTS DONT ALWAYS GET IT RIGHT... and it is quite possible that i am capable of making my life decisions on my own and not being wrong..

and besides... college is like a fountain of knowledge- and the students are just there to drink!!!

lewis carroll once said "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there"

and i just could not care less anyore about what road other people want me to take.. let them take it themselves coz im goin my own route..

im going to define my own happiness for me and if that includes college then great but if it doesnt than that is just as great because it is not the be all and end all of everything..

i have a dream that hasnt died yet or been crushed by people who have no life and that dream is certainly within my reach and i dont need people in my life who want to distract me from it or poison it..
“The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.” - Chuck Palahniuk

so ya know what?. although the light from my candle may have dimmed recently it will shine so bright im gonna leave you with cataracts!
