the curious case of benjamin button

the future seems daunting doesn't it? growing up, growing older, clinging to the idealism of youth when faced with adult responsibilities. what decisions will you end up making? how will they determine your life? will they even make a fraction of a difference or are we all pre-determined to a destiny?

personally, with graduation looming, these questions are constantly in my mind. i'm learning to test my limits, figuring out what really matters to me, who i want to be. it's been proving to be quite challenging which leads me to the question of whether or not i want to be more than i am, or if it's just fear of uncertainty telling me otherwise. i found this comforting quote from the charming movie the curious case of benjamin button, from a letter he's written to his daughter:

"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."
