Pursuit of happiness

Just venting.In high school one of my teahers told us we are entitled to the pursuit of happiness. Not happiness itself, unless we chase it down. I knew then that he was right. But experiencing it hurts. I was always the A student. I graduated hs with multiple dual credits. Got my associate degree. Then i was in a wreck and got learning disabilities. Ever since i have wanted to be a chiropractor. But i think im going to let it go. I can be happy doing something else. Something with less debt and more security. With a faster roi. It just hurts a little. I wish i hadnt told anyone my dreams. Now its embarrassing to change degree plans.
