Let's weigh the pros and cons of making your own path in life.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. Achieving a balance translates to being a sheep for a lot of people. A sheep buys a McMansion and $80 sweaters, when the wool it's already wearing would be fine. So, when are you going to college? So, when are you getting married? So, when are you having kids? So, when are you buying a bigger place? So, when are you going to retire? So, when are you going to have some grandchildren? So, when are you gonna die? It's important to try to find the beat of your own drummer. Want to take a few quirky college classes or take a semester off? It's okay! Wanna live with your boyfriend/girlfriend and never get married, or elope on a whim? It's really okay! Travel, read, expand your horizons and your mind, move physically and move your location. Let the herd storm past you and don't be afraid to just be you.
