I always had this nagging feeling that photography was more of a hobby to </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-size:medium;">me than a future career, and in the middle of June I realised that going to Kingston would be a HUGE mistake.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-size:medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC33CC;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">So instead I decided to withdraw my acceptance to Kingston to pursue a career as a teacher.

No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up.

Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate.
