there will come a day when you will begin to hate your life more than anything else on earth. you will realize that 95% of the people you meet are trying to hold you down-- family, friends, teachers. you will see your dreams slowly slipping out of your reach. you will realize that the distant ringing echo in your ears is your soul...screaming to get out of your body.

you can react as society has taught you--
shut down, self-destruct, have your mid-life crisis at eighteen.

...or you can fight back.
