"Is your boyfriend cute? Was Hurt Locker the best movie of the year? Are you going to go out in those shoes? Should you take the promotion and move to Boston? Did I wear “Hammer” pants on stage in Houston or is Rick Owens a visionary clothing designer?
It all depends on who you ask.
Which is a pretty great reason to stop asking all together. Nobody’s life template will ever lay evenly over yours. And in those times when they clash completely, you have to walk alone, with confidence that you’re creating your own template, made out of your own instincts and your own dreams and your own goals. And if you do it long enough, maybe someone someday will look to yours as the life to model theirs after. Of course, some people won’t agree with them. It will all depend on who they ask.

"Stop asking all together" such an interesting idea when we are constantly told to question things. But I feel like thesse questions are like the opposite of the questions we should be asking. Stop asking and "walk alone with the confidence that you are creating your own template". This is beautiful in a time where I feel constantly surrounded, just by the wrong people when the people I want to walk with live in stupid far away places like Oregon.
