Dear Satan,

I just want to get this off my chest, we are only twenty years old, we are not required to know what we're going to do for the rest of our lives. We should be doing what makes us genuinely happy. We should be making unforgettable memories, we should be embracing our friends. We should be going on road trips, going to concerts, staying up until 4 am. Listening to loud music, and dying our hair crazy colors. 
Also, we are allowed to experience our emotions, no one can tell us what we are feeling is wrong. Different things affect people in different ways, people go through hard times at different points, they just need the support from the people who love them. 
We shouldn't be embarrassed by our decisions, we shouldn't be embarrassed by our emotions. But what we do need to be embarrassed about is being selfish and ignoring other peoples emotions while on the journey to "benefit" ourselves, you should be you without hurting other people. 
We are allowed to have our own thoughts and opinions as long as we respect others. If you can't listen to someones opinion then you shouldn't be allowed to share yours. 
Being on a college campus I find that many people struggle with that concept, they make their opinions as public as they possibly can, but can't let someone who disagrees say three words before they start attacking them for being "wrong".
