I'm kind of freaking out because I don't know what to do with the rest of my life at the moment. My best friend says I should just go to college to get a good job, but everyone else says I should set myself up for a career. And the things that I want to do for the rest of my life, I keep getting told that you can't make a living off of. What is it that I want to do? I want to major in Art, Singing, and Creative Writing. All of which I guess you can't make a good living off of. And then, I get told to go after my dreams and not let the world stop me, but those same people tell me what I can and can't do.
I have considered alternatives. I thought about being an English teacher, an Egyptologist, do something to travel the world, but even these have gotten shot down. Is there nothing I can do that everyone will just shut up about? I want to do things that make me happy, but I'm a Gemini; learning about everything would make me happy, doing something liberal and artistic would make me happy. Now why can't I just have the courage to tell people this?
