I live in hope that i will get the oppurtunity to leave everyone. My family and most people around me have a view of me that I continue to let them have, however unrealistic, because I feel unable to voice my ambition. I am at University studying humanities, and my parents are sure that I will go into some academic profession, though they think I have no idea what I want. Every time I mention some sort of job my father becomes interested, he never puts pressure on me, but i know he is dying for me to find a vocation. They know I love the guitar, but they don't know how much.... Much as I enjoy art, literature, philosophy, it doesn't come close to satisfying me, and I would love to be able to leave and ignore any unconscious pressure to live up to expectations. I like my friends, but I am a fairly solitary person by nature, I wouldn't mind leaving it all behind.
