My future

I'm getting started on my life's dreams right now. No waiting around. I'm going to make art and I'm going to write and I'm going to design and perhaps organize. I don't need people to frown upon me if my art gets in the way of being prompt and always on time with my schoolwork... I know that's important,  but it's not the same. I don't enjoy school. "Well." you say. "You won't enjoy work. School is preparing you for work. You must..." No. Work won't be like school. I'm not going to sit with numbers and boring topics and turn in assignments about things I don't care about. If artistic pursuits don't quite bring in enough to pay the bills, I'll be working a part time job. But I'd rather get a part time job sweeping, bagging, moving, or gathering than calculating, standing still, filling out paperwork, or anything like that. "You just want a job you don't have to use your brain for." Wrong again. If I have to take a part time job to support myself (and it's probably pretty likely), I want one that is kinetic and keeps me moving but lets my mind roam free. I will be using my brain to think of things that others don't bother to.
If you don't let me have these dreams now I'll crumble and break and the zombies will get me.

Not happening.


Oh and tomorrow I want to participate in the One Day Without Shoes thing. Not because I particularly think that it will help anything, but because I want an excuse to not wear shoes and I'm going to the dentist so hopefully I can convince my mom. :D
