I envy people who really live.
People that spend their whole lives devoting themselves to music, simply because they love it.
People who move across the country to dance and make something out of themselves.

I always try to look at the big picture of life.
One day, we're all going to die.
When it comes down to really living, I certainly don't.
I'm alive, breathing, go about my day just like everyone else.
But I always feel like there's something greater out there.

I look up to people who do stuff for their passion or love.
People who don't care about being rich, as long as they get to play their music for a crowd.
Even if that crowd may be 20 people.

People are so used to fitting into a certain norm.
You have to be successful.
You can't have tattoos or peircings.
Go straight to college & put your dreams on hold.
Keep your hair natural.
Don't eat that second peice of cake, because it will go straight to your ass.

I'm going off to college in the fall.
I have bigger dreams.
Dreams that will never be reached.
But not because I wouldn't put in the effort, but because I wouldn't receive much support.
My dream is to do many things.
My dream is to write music and sing for people.
My dream is to write a book.
My dream is to travel. I want to see the world.
My dream is to grow old with someone who I really love.
But according to society, I will never get anywhere in life if I don't go to college.
I won't make lots of money & live in a really nice house.
Don't get me wrong, I think college is important.
I'm just worried of wasting time that can be spent on really living my life to the fullest.
Truth is, I hate school. Especially when it comes to math.
Complete.waste. of my precious time.

I don't want to look back on my life and think, where did all the time go?
I don't want to waste 50 years of my life, working in a cubicle, or in a boring office.
I don't want to hang out with people who talk about politics, or other boring, depressing things like the news.
I don't want to worry about not eating that second peice of cake, just because society says I shouldn't.
I don't want someone to shut the door on my face because I have a tattoo.
I don't want my family to look down upon me if I don't succeed, according to their standards.

People need to focus on being happy and doing what they love.
