There's no harm in taking a longer time and spending more
resources to realise a dream.
If the dream does not happen, there is only disappointment.
You are disappointed in your guy. He's not as successful as you
wish him to be.
But by the time he become successful and good enough for you.
You will no longer be good enough for him, because you have
AGED.
Your tities will be dangling like his balls and your bums will
be saggy, that face of yours will be nothing but hag.
I recommend you dump this guy and go for another more
"accomplished" person who is willing to overlook your lack of
intellectual while you are still young. ( Attributing your lack of
wisdom to naiviety and innocence).
Because by the time you are 30ish and you still talk like now,
it will be too obvious your brain is not properly screwed on since
you're a baby.
And sadly, that will prove that you make a lousy mother, as
you'd probably make your children's life miserable by forcing them
to quit school before 24 because they are all failures after a
certain age.
Smart men go for smart women, because you can't teach what you
don't know.. nobody wants a stupid wife to raise stupid kids.
Gettit kiddo ?
