“When
we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our
answers were things like astronaut, president, or in my case… princess.
When
we were ten, they asked again and we answered – rock star, cowboy, or
in my case, gold medalist. But now that we’ve grown up, they want a
serious answer. Well, how ’bout this: who the hell knows?!
This
isn’t the time to make hard and fast decisions, its time to make
mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in
love – a lot. Major in philosophy ’cause there’s no way to make a career
out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing
is permanent.
So make as many
mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we
want to be… we won’t have to guess. We’ll know.”
