So we all heard the same things.
We need to get a degree Get a big house Nice car Fancy clothes
I'm only 20 and halfway through my accounting degree and I realized that I just don't want any of that.
I want to live on some land with a nice garden, tiny house, and my dog. I want to groom dogs (who knew a part time job would turn into a passion), I can't sit at a desk for 5 minutes let alone 8 hours. The more accounting I do the more I hate it. I've been thinking about just giving it all up and living so simply since I was 14 and I went on a camping for the first time. Actually thought about running away and living in the woods, just because I liked being out there so much, with so little!
And everything I hear tells me that's wrong, only failures do stuff like that. That I'm lazy. And that I'll be poor and struggle and be unhappy, and never find a man because who would date a freak like that (and yes, I want a husband + at least 2 kids)
And it makes me wonder, is it wrong to do what makes me happy? Should we have to suffer in order to earn happiness? Why can't I just do what I want if it doesn't hurt anyone?
I know I'm going to finish my degree (parents bought me a car + feed me on the premise that I go to school) but otherwise, I think I'm just going to let go of my old "dreams" (or rather, what my parents dreamed for me) and do what I know will make me happy... but just the thought of living like that is scary because it feels so backwards and wrong!
The struggle is real.
