Dear Untamed Youth,
I think life is all about doing shit you actually want to do, and not what others want you to do. Notice what you dream about and find what you are passionate about. If you have an idea or a dream, don't just think about it, do it.
For me, I love surfing, traveling, and meeting cool people from different parts of the world. I always wanted to be a pilot, but always heard about how hard it is and how dangerous it can be. One day, my friend's dad took us up in his plane and flew us to Big Bear. He told me stories about him flying across Mexico and surfing waves all to himself. I was so inspired I reached out to a pilot school, started flying a month later, and have loved every minute of it.
I am figuring out how to connect the things I love into my career. Where I get to fly as an airplane pilot, and travel the world for surf trips in my free time. Canada will be the first stop.
Don't listen to other people about what to do, listen to yourself. It's better to do something and mess up, then to never do something and wish you had done it when you are older. Life's short, and we only have so much time to do the things that we love..
