Living the Dream

Oftentimes there is a clear difference between what teenagers want to do and what they do. Why is that? Kids dream of doing amazing things when they are younger and as they grow up, "reality" sets in. We have to go to school and do things we don't care about and don't do what we really love to do, simply because it doesn't follow what society wants us to do. People want to be artists or musicians or pro ball players but instead they become accountants because their parents tell them to or because they're afraid they can't make it or that they'll be hungry. But should we trade our dreams for security?
