Counting Costs

i can be famous. i've got potential. i've got skill. i graduated from a good school. i know a few people.

but i am not going to be famous.

i am never going to hear crowds cheer for me. i am never going to be credited for anything that did so much as stir a ripple on earth's surface. i am never going to get to drive a fancy car that i bought with my own money. i am never going to be what people thought i would/could be.

but i am going to be the person i want to be.

i know only the price of non-fame. and i think i can afford it. :)
