Why Always Ste

I remember I got chatting to an international student when I was at Uni and the pressure this poor girls parents had put on her since birth was insane. They basically pushed her to be a Doctor since she fell out of her mother and every time she fell below their high standards they would go mental at her. They sent her packing on her own to study in a foreign country because that was their wish. I asked her if she even wanted to be a Doctor and she just said she had no say in it which I just found crazy. Yes she is probably now a Doctor earning decent money but she has had no childhood, had no friends and seemed to have had no fun in her entire life. Is that worth it? I don't think so.
Well said..
I'd take all the crazy moments, partying, all the usual shit teenagers/young adults get up to over a career I had been forced into and hated.
Money doesn't bring happiness. Sure it can help, will make the ride more comfortable but fuck it - where's the fun?
Great memories as a child roaming Arndale shoplifting in a gang of scrotes and so on. Childhood thrills :D
