This is my memory of growing up and discovering who and what I truly was.  So many people I know spend their lives trying to live other people's dreams. This is so counter productive.  You end up sabotaging yourself if you are not true to your own identity.  You have the live your live with the gifts, tools and passions you have.  I believe success is happiness and happiness is success, so why not truly be happy on your own terms.  No one else can decide for you want things will make you happy.
