“All You Need Is Love"

                                   Without somebody who loves you, we are just running around like crazy people. Without family and friends we wouldn’t have anything meaningful. I realized that the only reason I got anywhere in life (good grades, good dance and theatre productions, etc) is because of the people in my life. Without their support I would of never gotten anywhere. Grades don’t make you happy. School doesn’t make you happy. Being “perfect” will never make you happy. This guy was awarded an academic prize upon graduation cause he got like 97 percent in almost all his classes in university. The crowd was amazed and it went viral. I didn’t go “wooow he’s so cool.” I felt SO bad for him. No offence, but what kind of routine do you have to commit to to be that..perfect.

                                  

                                   What makes me happy is having real friends and a real family and having a real relationship. That is all I need because a career is not going to come take care of you when you’re sick. A career is not everything. Unless it’s your passion I guess. I was an academic, and now I’m not. I used to go to university but now I don’t. Now I’m going to a film school. It’s been my dream since I was young but I was always told no. I’m still being told no but it’s my life so ya..I’m gonna make my own choices cause I have to live with it in the end. My time at university exposed me to so many opportunities. I met professors who had published books and so much more. But I also met friends who were SO STRESED and unhappy and defined by literally every percent and letter grade they got. Like I said, I was an academic but now I’m not. I could say that it isn’t the end of the world for me but it is. Academics have been my life since forever. I come from a family of professors and university believers. Being defined by something for so long is the worst thing. Cause once it’s gone you feel so lost. I don’t want to be one of those people who are so successful that they don’t even have a life. People who have given up so much that in the end, all they have is their careers. People who work so much that they talk to everyone like their employees. Or a student who put so much in their work that if they fail they just snap. I want to be somebody who is not perfect, but in love with the life they’ve chosen. Whatever it may turn out to be. After all, what’s it all worth if you have no one to share it with?
