I like to contemplate.

Everyone always says to think about your future. Whether these words come from parents, counselors, teachers, they usually mean the same thing: How are you going to earn a living? What are you going to study in college

I have the same problem, being Asian as well. I think everyone around me sort of just expect me to become top-notch; doctors, lawyer, etc. It's not like I'm scared, because I'm always ready for a challange, it's just that I don't want to spend my life the way my parents want me to. But when you know that the thing you want to do may set you back financially or economically, it's hard to decide. :/

Yeah, that's always the problem. It's either you live scrounging for money while doing the thing you want to do or live comfortably but hate your job. Everybody would say that the most obvious choice would just be to choose the well-paying job that you hate. Well, as nice as it would be to live comfortably, I just don't have the patience to deal with something I would hate everyday.

You're right, but sometimes its fear that drives us back as opposed to logic. I would value my heart over my brains, but I suppose, if I would choice, I would be too scared to state my own point.

It would be the same as standing up for what you believe, your ultimate dreams, when you know that you're not being supported. I suppose I'm scared of being that, making my own path of life, and not expect any support from my family, just because I choice something they disagrees with.

Well said my friend. :)

I feel exactly the same way as you do.

People just don't appreciate the small things in life anymore.

The Finer Things...

"I always wondered what it would be like to sit at the local bistro and sit at an outside table, writing nonstop in my notebook for hours. Living an artistic life like that would be the best for me, but since when do people actually life like that anyway? The United States is far too high-paced, filled with booming corporations and office work. It's very sad that a simple girl like me is immersed in a society that seems to not appreciate the finer things in life anymore."

I agree, I really enjoy walking alot seeing the water, trees, etc. I guess I have a bit of a naturalist in me, but its no proffession I look forward too >_<. They way that our society is starting to bother me... ^_^; I guess its just a part of life that you have to deal with.
