Over the years I’ve found myself faced with a lot of people who don’t understand what I want to do with my life or why I can’t just settle into a desk job and “be happy” like everybody else … so many people content with the status quo simply because they think that’s just the way it has to be.
I want more out of the short time that I get to call my own in this world, and Steve’s words are a pleasant reminder that I’m probably in good company of others who want that same thing.
