Dear Max,
Do whatever makes you happy.
Don't ever let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do...who you can and cannot be. You're the only one who has the power to know that...to choose that. My only advice is...choose whatever makes you happy.
Life is hard...work is hard but if you're happy with what you are doing, you will survive...you will overcome every obstacles that will come your way.
Every beginning is difficult but things will get easier as you gain more skills, as you gain more friends, as you gain more experience. Be an expert at what you love to do...and continue learning and enjoying life.
Enjoy while you're young...so you will have happy memories to look back to when things get serious...and believe me they will. Those happy memories will be your shield, your air, your anchor.
I hope you will find whatever will make you happy and I pray that you will have the courage to fight for it. Be brave, be very brave.
I love you.
