When we were 5, adults asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up? Most of our responses were: "President", "Astronaut" or something like that, or in my case: "A princess!". When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when
we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, the president or in my case, a princess.


Is: "Rockstar", "Cowboy" or in my case "Win a Gold Medal".
When we were ten, they asked again, we answered: Rock star, Cowboy, or in my case, the gold medalist.

But now that we're older, adults want a serious answer. Well, how about this answer: "Who the hell knows?"
But now we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how about this? Who the hell knows?


Now is not the time to make a decision, now It's time to make mistakes. Go around and try and fail, talk more about love. Go to study philosophy, because there is absolutely no future in studying philosophy! Change your mind and change it again, because nothing lasts forever. So make as many mistakes as possible.
It is not the time to make hard fast decision, it is the time to make mistakes. Take it traveling around to stuck on somewhere, fall in love, a looooooot~Major in Philosophy because there is no way to make a career out of that . Change mind and change again, because nothing is permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can.

One day when adults ask us what we want to do again, we won't have to guess, we'll know the answer.
That were someday they asked us what we want to be, we won't have to guess, we'll know.

    Rosalie Hale: [softly] Hate...

    [smiles sadly, shakes her head; looks at Bella]

    Rosalie Hale: I don't hate you.

    [pause; looking back outside]

    Rosalie Hale: I don't particularly *like* you but...

    [looking down]

    Rosalie Hale: Bella, I envy you.

    Bella Swan: [surprised; barely a whisper] What?

    [beat]

    Bella Swan: That's ridiculous.

    Rosalie Hale: No it's not. You have a choice. I didn't. None of us did. But you do and you're choosing wrong! I don't care how miserable your human life is.

    Bella Swan: My life is not miserable.

    [comes up to her side, leaning on the railing, looking out]
