I just want to delete my profile but this darn thing persists. Why is that?
“Growing up means learning what life is. When you're little, you have a set
of ideals, standards, criteria, plans, outlooks, and you think that you have
to sit around and wait for them to happen to you and then life will work. But
life isn't like that, for anybody; you can't fall in love with a standard, you
have to fall in love with a person. You can't live in a criteria, you have to
live your life. You can't wait for your plans to materialize, because they may
never materialize the way you think they will. You can't wait to watch your
ideals and standards walk up to you, because you can't know what's yours until
you have it. I always say, always take the first chance in case you never get
a second one, but growing up takes that even one step further, growing up means
that you have to hold on to what you have, when you have it, because what you
have- that's yours- and all the ideals and criteria you have set in your head,
those aren't yours, because those haven't happened to you.”
