athena
i have a question for you

jonah
what is it?

athena
if you weren't famous, what would you be doing rn?

jonah
baseball probably

athena
hmm

jonah
why do you ask?

athena
just thinking about things

jonah
like what?

athena
life choices n shit

athena
starting to think i'm wasting my life away, idk

jonah
what makes you think that?

athena
i've just been feeling so useless lately, idk. you're out here living your dream, travelling the world, performing every night and i'm here, just a year younger, and i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing.

jonah
please don't feel like you're not worth it just because you're still trying to figure things out

jonah
i managed to get lucky and was able to achieve my dream right away. if you're still trying to discover who you are then take your time. don't compare yourself to others, it'll only drag you down

athena
my parents constantly tell me i'm a disappointment to them

jonah
why would they say that?

athena
all throughout school i was a smart kid. i got good grades, teachers liked me, i was into sports and shit. so when i decided not to go to post secondary they were upset. but like the school environment just made me so damn miserable, i was only achieving what i had just to please my parents. idk i couldn't imagine spending more time in a place where i'm so fucking sad constantly

jonah
your parents are fucking dumb if they don't care about what makes you happy

jonah
good on you for knowing what's best for you

athena
thanks jo

jonah
do you have any idea what you want to do?

athena
i'm really big into photography but idk, it kinda seems risky to me

jonah
following your dream comes with risks, you've just gotta be brave enough to accept that

athena
i wish i could be that brave

jonah
just have the right mindset, i'm sure good things are to come

athena
thanks for being such a good friend jonah. i really needed someone to talk to about this stuff

jonah
anytime, athena
