"Just make yourself happy. If you help others on the way, then good for you. It's hard out there, kid. Enjoy your sheltered little Marin life. Prepare yourself for one hell of an awakening. You may not like it, but there are some cruel people on the other side. If you dont wisen up, youre gonna be in for it. Mommas not gonna tie your shoes anymore. You and everyone else has got to learn to take off the training wheels and stand up for what you think is right. Dont let the molds and the standards that they set for you get in the way of your finish line. If its your dream then noone else can help you get there. Everyone can use a helping hand every once in a while. If you need one, then call for it. but dont expect the stuardess. If you need the truth, just open your eyes because everyone else is looking for it, too. Being able to find your own way is why we get the training wheels in the first place. When you cant stand up for yourself, then you need to take a step back and find out who you are. Because out there, kid, thats all you got."
-yours truly
