I know what I want.

"I know what I want. Some people understand...others don't...and sometimes even the closest people try their hardest to get us to see it their way. And the way I see it, better to have a short life that is full of what I love doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way. And it is absolutely stupid to spend your time doing things you don't like and want to do. Yet, that seems to be the ways of the generations, bringing up children to live the same sort of lives their parents lived. Do not let me suffer a life of not taking my own risk. Do not strangle me with your experiences because you won't accept anything else. I know where I'm going, and I'm willing to put everything I've got on the line for it. I'm not like you."
