Study hard. Get good grades. Go to college. Get a job. Get married. Settle down.
That’s the society’s definition of success.
Nothing wrong, however, it’s someone else’s – and we may want to create our own.
Which may mean taking a gap year.
Or not knowing what to do for five years.
Or perhaps always exploring; never settling.
We’ll not be accepted, laughed at, and even mocked at what we do.
Almost every time.
The unconventional path is filled with resistance.
But at least it is our own!
