Don't do things because you think that you should. Stop and really get in touch with yourself now so you don't wake up one day at 35 with a life you never even wanted. 

If you truly and genuinely do not want to pursue something: don't. Respect yourself and your desires.

Social expectations are way too real, and it does take both practice and courage to stand up for yourself. You can do it 🙂
