When we were five, they asked us what we
wanted to be when we grew up. Our things were
answers like astronaut, president, or in my case,
princess… When we were ten, they asked us
again. We answered - rock star, cowboy, or in my
case, gold medalist… But now that we’ve grown
up, they want a more serious answer. Well, how
about this… Who the hell knows? This isn’t a time
to make hard and fast decisions. This is the time to
make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get
stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love - a lot. Major in
philosophy because there’s no way to make a
career out of that. Change your mind. Then change
it again because nothing is permanent. So make as
many mistakes as you can. That way, someday,
when they ask again what we want to be… We
won’t have to guess. We’ll know.”
