“Do what you want to” is a philosophy a man who goes by the name Slow Mo lives by. Slow Mo realized that even though he was a doctor who was rich, he never was really happy. He met an old man who was 93 and asked him, “How does a strapping young man like me, get to be an old codger like you?”. The man replied, “DO WHAT YOU WANT TO!”. Slow Mo gave up his old doctor, rich life for a simple life style and a pair of roller blades. While he is roller skating, he goes into a pose where he travels at a constant slow pace that makes him feel like he is flying. Because of this pose, he got the title of Slow Mo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn87-mcnoVc
The point I am trying to make is that it took Slow Mo most of his life to realize that he should have lived by doing what he wanted to, You are still young and should live to do what YOU want, find what you TRULY love to do! I had thought about doing animation as a hobby because I love to do it, but this documentary has encourage me to pursue animation for a living. You only live one life, and it should be spent doing what makes you happy and not what others want you to do. I am not saying you should necessarily just live the simple life and just skate, what you do is ALL ON YOU. Take your time while you are young to explore the possibilities of careers that you would want to do, do research on that one thing you feel you were meant to do and just go for it. I wish you the best for your life and I hope you spread the message to your friends.
