A short YouTube monologue by Dylan Vanas reflecting on how societal expectations can lead people to live others' dreams. The speaker contrasts following parental or societal prescriptions (a 'good job') with pursuing personal happiness and freedom—wanting enjoyable work, entrepreneurship, collaboration with interesting people, travel, and autonomy. The piece frames these aspirations as opening up new possibilities once chosen.

In society, we have standards. Everyone kind of assumes a certain standard in life. For some people, that's doing what their parents recommend. It's getting a good job, whatever that is. For me, it was, I want to, like, be happy and I want freedom. I don't want to do something just because my parent told me to do it. I want to do something because that's what I want to do. I want to, like, do stuff fun. I want to build businesses. I want to work with cool people. I want to travel and have freedom. That's when, like, the whole world opened up.
