Follow your own path

A teacher of mine once said “Don’t blend in. When you blend you disappear.” Don’t follow others just to be a part of a group. Have goals and dreams and chase them. Even if they seem impossible chase them anyway. You only have one life in this body; don’t waste it getting drunk and high.
