Aim For The Moon And Fail.

I have been wondering as to what I want.
I am eighteen and I already think that I will always have to choose, that I cannot have everything.
But it isn't supposed to be this way. I look around me and I see people who are not afraid of going after what they want. They aren't ridiculed for wanting something or being passionate about something. They are encouraged to pursue their passions in a practical way.
I guess it's the way we were brought up. Even before we know what we want, we just dismiss the idea as unobtainable.
It's sad, really.
We are supposed to be the future. We are supposed to believe in ourselves and our futures.
Instead we berate ourselves for aiming too high.

What we fail to see is that if your aim is the moon and you fail, you are still in space.
So, yes, aiming for the moon and failing is better than aiming for an apple tree and reaching it.
