Within society, there are some, if not many people, who seem to enjoy striking down the dreams of others. If it's not something that they themselves are comfortable with or can imagine themselves doing, it's impossible. These people piss me the hell off. What right do you have to tell me that what I'm doing is impossible? What right do you have to say that what I'm doing "Isn't feasable" or practical? You know what?
IT'S MY LIFE!
And I will live - AND DIE - by the choices that I make in it. What right do you have to say to me that my dreams, my desires and goals, are worthless, implausable, wrong, or stupid?
The amusing thing is that these people will usually try to strike you down by asking you minute detailed questions that you don't know the exact answer to, but you are able to make a guess on. Such as "What will you do about food?" I can guess what I'll do, which is eat ramen, but it will depend heavily upon what I find myself around while out. When you counter their questions with logical answers, they have nothing further to say and go silent.
You know what? I'm sick of it. I'm sick of people trying to shoot me down just because they're jealous, or they wish they could have done that, or they can't imagine life without a steady job, a white picket fence and 2.5 children. Just because you can't live without your computer, TV and microwave doesn't mean that everyone has your problems.
I do NOT want to live in one place the rest of my life!
I do NOT want to have children!
I do NOT want to deal with your prejudice!
I do NOT want to have to sell my soul to have objects which I don't want or need!
I do NOT want to listen to you telling me how I am ruining my life, wasting my youth, wasting potential, being a loser, being foolish, stupid, or dull by doing what *I* want to do in this very SHORT life!
You can be cynical. That is your right. However, it is NOT right for you to push your cynicism onto others and ruin their hopes and dreams just because you failed at some point, or life has beaten you upside the head. Nobody ever said that life was going to be easy, and if they did, they've probably never been in the real world for very long. It's okay to warn me about upcoming dangers, things I might not have forseen, but please, please don't tell me about how what I'm doing is wrong, or will never work.
Acceptable: "You are aware that they charge extra tax for that, right?"
Not acceptable: "They charge so much in extra taxes you'll never make it."
