What I mean is that those thoughts, they're human. And just because you turn out differently than everyone's imagined you would doesn't mean that you've failed in some way.

Or a person who goes to med school because his entire family is full of doctors might find out that what he really wants to be is an artist instead. ✨ Jodi Picoult (2009). My Sister's Keeper - Movie Tie-In: A Novel, p.354, Simon and Schuster
