Everybody has their idea of what their dream life is. For some, it may be to be rich and live lavishly, while for others, it could be having a family and living in a house with those who make them happy.
Many people get these ideas from how they grew up. If someone grew up in a family that did not show much love and support, they might disagree with certain parenting techniques, or if someone grew up without money, they might believe they have to do a good job so they can afford all the things that their family wants.
Maddy Woods, who grew up in an apartment for part of her life, says she wants to be financially stable.
“I want to be able to do my shopping at Target and know that I can afford it,” Woods said.
I figured out what I wanted early on. This did not come from my family life or upbringing. I got my vision from Pinterest.
Pinterest is an aesthetic, and that is how I want my family to be. I want to live in a lovely house on some land with a husband, two kids, two dogs and a cow. Now, this is reasonable, but at the same time, I got those ideas from a Pinterest board.
Libby Hatcher Says that she loves getting ideas from Pinterest.
“I get some of my nail ideas from Pinterest and outfit ideas,” Hatcher said.
Woods says she gets some life ideas from Pinterest, such as what house she wants. After all, Woods said that the most important thing for her when she is older is that she wants to be successful.
Not everybody knows what they want in life, and that is okay because as a high school student, you still have years ahead of you.
