Birth.
You have just been brought into the world. You have been
cleaned. You have been named.
Education.
It is the key to success, to wealth, to happiness. At least
that is what every other adult you converse with implies and/ or states
explicitly.
School.
It’s required. We have all been attending some sort of school
for the past twelve years of our life if we are scheduled to graduate within
the upcoming year - whether it was home school, public school, online school,
charter school, or private school.
College.
Apply now. Get scholarships. Don't go for student loans
because you could find yourself in debt once you have graduated from college.
Try to earn a degree so you can have the chance of making a decent living.
Job.
It may be your first, or may be your fifth. Whatever the
number may be, you either love it or hate it. You either feel confined or
limitless.
Family.
White picket fence. Clean- shaven husband or primped- out
wife. Three or four children who are expected to eventually study at Harvard or
Princeton or Stanford. Make mother and father proud. Eventually marry and have
children as well.
Death.
There is always an end to every beginning. When someone leaves,
another replaces them. People continue on in their bittersweet misery to inhabit
the earth to live out the never ending and always cliché cycle of life.
Choose to
Repeat Cycle.
Or… fashion and design your own path to follow. Refuse to
listen to the thoughts and opinions of others. Listen to what your heart knows
to be true.
Don’t let the regular things keep you from achieving the greater
things.
Such as, for example, your happiness.
