Live and Let Live

It was once said that if one will flow as life flows they will need no greater force. I think this is something my family should take into consideration, along with the rest of the nagging parents, teachers and leaders of today.
If something is meant to happen- chances are it will. I am a strong believer in fate. My father has openly admitted to me several times that since I was born he has been "training" me to go to college, become a doctor a lawyer or any of those stereotypically determined successful career paths. Frankly, it pisses me off. We shouldn't have to force our lives and shape them from the day were born to turn out to be something special. You're either born with talent, passion, brains, and such, or you're not. You shouldn't be 5 years old and worrying about your kindergarten grades because your parents tell you you'll never get into college-- at that age your biggest concern should have been what you wanted for desert. Fuck we've been robbed of our carefree spirits and our creativity because since the day we were born our parents set our dreams for us.

I just want to live my life the way it wants to be lived. Live and let live I say. Let me be wreckless- let me run with scissors! If I die it's because I was supposed to. We're too damn cautious, and half the time we fuck it up anyways. Think about it.
