We live in a society where in order to be happy with yourself, you need to make what everybody else thinks is "better for you". But the truth is that those things won't make you happy, If you love something, please go for it. You might find that some people wont support you, but the thing is that if you really love that, you'll do it just fine.
You need to fight and never stop doing it. Of course you can settle for the things everyone tells you to do, but that is what you really want? You can be the best one or you can be just like everyone else. All of this is up to you, but I believe that everyone is here to do something big, so don't take away from yourself. Be what you want to be, not what everyone tells you to be.
