hey man...whatever ur age...good on ya. choose your own path, choose your own values, and be prepared that not all ur choices may bring joy and happiness, but at least they were your choices. Shit happens in everyones life, the success comes in how you deal with it. Someone once told me....there are no right or wrong choices, the question is whether or not they fit your values, and provide you with a step forward in what you want from your life. All the best to you...life can be grand....but its a concious choice you need to make for yourself.
