Default Instagram Quotes

Get a respectable degree (to please your parents), land the stable-but-boring job (to please your future wife), have exactly 2.5 kids (for the wife again), pay half your salary to Uncle Sam (to be a good citizen), buy a house you can barely afford in a five star school district (to keep up with the Joneses), take two stateside vacations a year (for the followers on Instagram), die by thirty-four and get buried at seventy-one from type II diabetes because the only thing you ever did for yourself was sneaking an Oreo McFlurry on your forty-five minute commute to the job you hated every day. A life spent making a living you never have time to enjoy is a divided life. A life spent pleasing others without ever asking what pleases you is a life of slavery. A life lived under the load of other’s expectations to avoid the weight of self-responsibility is an unlived life. There’s a better way.
