“Let this be a lesson to you other kids trying to “make it” in fashion. Your parents don’t want what’s best for you. They want what’s safest, which if you’re not a total fucking nerd, isn’t the same thing. When you eventually go ahead and tell them what you want to do be prepared for the shit storm that will follow it. Reevaluate your decision and truly ask yourself if what you want to do for the rest of your life is worth your parents thinking you’re an idiot. You many not get the kind of support from your parental figures you were hoping for, but after you start finding your professional footing they’ll slowly change their tune. Like any good parents, eventually they’ll let you know to how they believed it you all along even if they still think you made up your boss.”
