You’ll be forced to do many things, but you are the one who has ultimate power over yourself. Do what you think is right, even if it means failing. How else are you going to learn how to pick yourself up?
If you don’t want to cook, don’t.
If you don’t want to get married, don’t.
If you don’t want kids, don’t have them.
You’ll be judged on what you decide to do with your life. I say if you want to be a mechanic, or an astronaut, or a doctor, or a lumberjack, or a biker, or whatever, if you decide in your mind what your goal is, there is no force in this world that can stop you.
