Sent Renee an Email....this is it (edited just a little)
Ok, ok. Like I said I don't want to sound stupid and
I'm not sure how to explain, but I'll try. Hmm....take
the movie for example. I know its just a movie and
all. But, the characters lived their lives. When they
had highs, they were really high, when they had lows
they were really low. They didn't stay stuck in the
house, all safe. They did almost anything they wanted
when they wanted. I don't want to grow up doing
something I hate for the rest of my life because I
need the money. I don't want to be stuck in some
cubical 8 hours a day just so I can have a house and
food. It's like, you need that stuff to live, but
is that really living? I don't want to die, knowing that I
never took any chances, that I was always safe because
I lived in fear of everything. I know a lot
of people say that and end up doing it anyway.
But I think it would kill me, I really do. Some people
want safety and nine to five jobs, and SOMEONE has to
be the computer programmer, the banker, the secretary.
But not me, I can't see myself living like that. I've
spent too long already living in monotony, with school
and all. Doing the same thing over and over until I'm
sick of it. That depresses me, and it's not
something I want to be conditioned into ever.
Fear and regret don't get you anywhere in life. The
only big fear I have right now is that I will get
stuck in an office somewhere. But it won't happen if I
don't let it right? "I hope I die before
I get old" isn't that a line of some song?
So I guess more or less thats what I'm trying to say.
If it made any sense at all...
