lily: i'm nervous
josh: i'm ready to go, i can't wait til college
lily: but what if
josh: lil' it's not certain, nothing is, all you have is now
lily: that's easy to say when you don't have to worry
josh: what's that supposed to be mean, you really think i'm not worried at all? just because you're scared doesn't mean you get to belittle me, i'm sorry if i'm not putting it out there like you do
lily: ...
josh: i -
lily: no you're right, it scares me so much it shakes me y'know to the point where i can't think about anything else, i get fixated and then i can't even enjoy anything til the deed is done, and then there's just more things to worry about
josh: you can't keep living like this, you'll never be happy
lily: it won't be a big difference to what i'm doing rn
josh: well you can change that, just because you want to be successful and competitive and guarantee your way into an ivy league doesn't mean you can't smile once in a while, laughing won't make the admissions director question your ability to take responsibility in a class, you're allowed to have a good time too
lily: but
josh: what's the point, you're stressing yourself but achieving that ivy league school, or that internship, or that spot in a fortune 500, means nothing, atleast to me if you don't like it, if you don't love it
lily: i don't think i can do that if i stay here, i need to get out, i need to be ruthless, passion gives reason gives purpose but without ruthlesness and hard work how am i supposed to use that passion?
josh: point taken
lily: i just don't wanna be stuck
