When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were thing like astronaut, president, or in my case; a princess.
When we were ten, they asked again and we answered; rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now, when 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, it is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love, a lot. Major in Philosophy, 'cause there is no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind, and change it again, because nothing's permanent.
So, make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask us again what we wanna be, we won't have to guess, we'll know.
