I have a real problem on my hands. I am 13 years old, living a pretty normal life, with my normal dad and effing-goal-oriented-mom. Mom and i had a discussion last night about my future. I said that, as long as i am content with my life, that i will be happy and will be peaceful with myself. Mom, on the other hand, says that i will NEVER reach true happiness until i get my Ph.D. and make big bucks.
I am a bright kid. I have a 4.0 GPA, and have a lot of things other than school going for me. Music, sports, etc. I know that if i want, i CAN get my Ph.D. and make a lot of money and become my mom's version of 'happy'. But i'm not sure if that's what i want to do with my life. I think that happiness is...
having a family...loving people...doing things that make ME content, and not my mom...hanging out with friends...going to movies, and stuff
Yes, i know that i will need money to do those things. I know that i am capable of earning that money. I don't WANT to be the next Marie Curie!
