		<description>My name is Lord Vader, and I approve this message :)

Jokes aside, this trip will always be a watershed event for me, for so many reasons I can&#039;t even explain. Now that you&#039;re taking your first step out into the world as a man, I wonder, I worry, I smile, I cry, I hope, I dream for the possibilities that await you.

Love you son. Go crush the world like I did to Alderan. That&#039;ll teach &#039;em for messin&#039; with me!

Love,
Lord Vader</description>

		<description>Having blazed trails with many dead-ends before you, I know how you feel. But isn&#039;t that the definition of life itself? It&#039;s not about knowing where you are going, it&#039;s more about having the confidence to boldly go in a direction that might not pay off, at least not in ways you might expect.

Heading off into a direction, and finding a dead end is only a problem if you expected great success in the first place. It&#039;s in your nature to want to go in may directions at once. And that might be what is feeding into self-doubt.

Think about it.

If you move in 10 directions, and 9 are dead ends, then it seems futile. But what about the 1 direction that showed promise? What to do? Do you march forward with trepidation because the 9 other directions crapped out, or do you find the courage and hold onto the hope that this 1 direction might have possibilities no one can predict?

Looking back, this notion helped me find my way in life. And I had no clue where I was going. There was no map. So dare to wander while life is simple, and relish the journey. Let serendipity be your guide, and smile while you&#039;re on your way to no place special.

Much love, son. Takes a real man to explore oneself. Proud of you.
