Anyone you want to
Be, be that person. You
Can
Do anything.
Everything is an illusion.
Feel what comes naturally and
Go away from what is expected.
Having freedom
Is imperative to
Just living.
Kick the norm to the side.
Love what you want.
Money isn't anything.
Normal is boring. You
Owe it to yourself to not
Pretend anymore. Why be
Quiet and unsatified when you can
Run free from expectations?
Say what you feel and
Take chances. Death is
Undeniable. Don't
View this as the only
way. The possibilities are
X-ponential.
You can escape the system if you so please.
Zoom past the rest of them.

I believe that society makes young people think that we have to do what "they" want. We are expected to go to college, get a job, get married, have kids, retire, and die. But that's not the only way. I hope that this piece will spark this thought in other young people, because there is so much more to life than working for money.
