But what if I want to be a dinosaur?

The other night my mom was trying to have a serious conversation with me about my chronic boredom. She told me that I had to stop putting walls up for myself and saying "I can't". She also said that I had the potential to be anything I wanted to be, so I asked her if I could be a dinosaur. She told me that I could not be a dinosaur.

My dreams have been crushed.
