Do whatever you want thats the beautiful part of begin an adult the difference is unlike a kid you have responsibilities and you uphold them then afterwards you do what you please. When some people get older they lose that spice that flaire then they get bland and get depressed. Live your life love will find it's way when you have your heart open. As long as you do what you love while making sure you are paying those bills you are contributing to society the only difference is you're not dead inside with a job that you don't hate. They say stuff like that because people want other people who aren't living their way to conform to their way of living not allowing anyone to be greater than them. Let em talk you know you are living the life you want to and the only reason they are saying stuff because they don't get to live the life they want so they'll drag you down to their level. Be great talk to more people who are good to you and have in common with and have a blast with your life as long as you take care of your responsibilities you live life how you want. They can have their little snobby dark pathetic space to themselves to grow old and bitter and wonder why they aren't happy. You can live and grow old to be happy and one day if you live to have kids/grandkids you pass on that greatness, that spark that lights up thier mind to be an inspiration to be great and they will truly be happy and have fulfilling lives.
I know this post is long these topics make my blood boil because people be so negative and closed minded like a peanut never challenging their perspective never wanting to or feeling to learn something new or grow "because they already know everything." it pisses me off.
