Coming From A Small Rural School Is Neat Until You Realize People KNOW You - Tumblr Posts

Oh my god, I don't think I'll ever get over the fact that when I graduated high school, there was this student/teacher dinner for top students and even my TEACHERS stared at me when I said I wasn't pursuing art. And it's even more sad thinking back on my high school years that my interest and confidence in my own artistic abilities had been steadily decreasing since starting high school, but they still saw and knew how passionate I was about it. And now I'm in biological research and I have no clue what or why I'm doing this, but at least I'll have money, right?

just ran into an old high school friend (i graduated from high school like 7 years ago??) and she asked me what i was doing and i told her i’m majoring in accounting and she went silent for a second and was like “really? you always wanted to be a writer.” and i swear a part of me actually died.
