I've sat through rehearsals listening to the words over and over :
" Here I go, And there's no turning back. My great adventure has begun. I may be small But I've got giant plans To shine as greatly as the sun. I will blaze until I find my time and place. I will be fearless, Surrendering modesty and grace. I will not disapear without a trace. I'll shout and start a riot Be anything but quiet. Christopher Columbus I'll be Astonishing Astonishing, Astonishing..." (Astonishing, Little Women the Musical)
I've always worried about what I'll grow up to be, should I follow my dreams, or do what society tells me to do? Should I do what will give me money or what I love? I've thought and though so much, but I know now, I need to do what my heart and God tell me to do. Follow my love and passion. How can one truly be succesful in something without a passion for it? Sure a business woman makes tons of money, but if she doesn't love it, she won't do a good job and therefor will not earn all that money and have no succes, and most importantly...No happiness. I want to grow up and be happy and thats my plan from now on. To do what i believe is right, not society or others. Sure I'll take opinions into account, but it is I who makes my own decisions. I need to grow up and be independent. I've always been reliant on friends and family. Its my time to dream and chase that dream until it is mine.
