I think one of the reasons I went to Switzerland in the first place, was to realize that there is a lot more to life than what is drilled into our heads from birth: go to school, go to university, get a job, get married, have lots and lots of babies. As if babies and marriage and a job are what determine our success in life, what determine our merit as individuals. 

We're kept busy. School, homework, part-time jobs, extracurricular activities, family events. And we're kept underpressure. A+'s, GET A JOB, "do you have a boyfriend yet"'s. It's a wonder anybody has any time to think.  Think about whether or not what they are doing, is what they want to be doing, or if it's what everyone else is telling them to do. 

Don't get me wrong, I want to get a job, and get married, and have babies. Since jobs make money you need to live, and I don't want to die alone, and any person living on this earth will do a combination of these things, if not all three for the exact same reasons. But along the way, they'll take the mere action of breathing for granted, robotically moving towards an intangible goal that everyone is telling them to move towards. Some picture society has painted for them to keep them motivated. Some point down the road where everything will make sense, and they'll know exactly why they had to work so hard at everything and someone will tell them "good job, you win at life". And they'll look around, and have everything they ever thought they wanted, but they'll have spent 40 years of their life tediously drudging through a whole lot of uneccesary shit and never experiencing anything. 

Life is short. So live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the drama, take chances, and never have regrets because at one point everything you've ever done was exactly what you wanted.

I have learned that consequences shouldn't prevent you from anything. There IS no destination, there is movement. There is life, and love, and we shouldn't ask for anything more than that.
