Really? Okay, so maybe I sound a little like you. When I re-read it this morning, I thought I sounded more grumpy than anything though. It's a little disturbing.
I love what I do. Okay, so I don't love what I currently do, but I love what I'm going to school to do. I've always wanted to build things, whether it be furniture or houses or .. hell, even bridges. It's what I've always wanted and loved to do. My parents don't exactly agree with it, but then, they don't agree with Asher's line of work either. They expected more out of us, wanted more out of us.
Do me a favor. When Lyric grows up, don't be angry with her if she decides her life dream is something you think is stupid. Let her be who she wants to be, without making her feel guilty about it. Not that I think you ever would but .. sometimes, parents forget how they felt when they were kids.
