Not because I am hard headed as what they told thee;
"Girls must hurry, must have a ring by twenty,"
As if this was a game, in order to win you have to marry.
But won't it be nicer if you can stand on your own?
Don't let people invalidate your dreams and your worth,
For within you core, you are molded to conquer the world.
Be Fearless—You can do it, no room for doubt,
Be Honorable—Like those eagle scout,
Be Independent—Soar high— do not be afraid to stand out.
“Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you.
You must travel it by yourself.
It is not far. It is within reach.
Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, and did not know.
Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land.” ― Walt Whitman
