“What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life.” -Buscaglia
It is what I’ve truly wanted my entire life, and with every passing day, I become more certain of that. Pop found out today and he didn’t flip out like I thought he would; I told him that was what I wanted to do, and that I planned to move to San Francisco to attend the holistic institute there. He was quiet for a while and then said, “I’ve always known you have that gift, but what future can there be in that? I worry about the practical aspect of your life, because I dont think you ever consider it.”
Everyone in my family basically mirrored that statement. I have not told my friends of my plans yet, though I know that they’ll be encouraging.
I’m blown away by the consensus that its old news that I am capable of this. They’ve always pushed me so hard to be something other than I am that I was ready for so much resistance. But now I see the only one that has habitually resisted is myself.
I will never deny who I am and what I believe I can do ever again.
