The picture for this today's art star is a piece of graffiti art by Banksey that has "Follow Your Dreams" with a big red "Cancelled" sign over it.
"Follow Your Dreams" is what adults and people tell young children but now a days the kids themselves tell themselves that they can't, and that society won't allow them to. Young adults are having a harder time finding a place in today's society where they can accomplish their dreams. Whether they put a limit on themselves or have outside forces, like controlling parents, it is hard to do what you want and to express yourself.
For example my best friend and I had a dream when we were little to grow up and start a detective agency (I know it childish.. but we really like the show Psych). She is working towards meeting the requirements to go to the University of Florida because they have an outstanding Forensic Science department, but her mom wants her to get highlights, wear dresses and become a secretary. She is just one of the people I know that is having to changer her priorities to meet someone else and put her dreams on hold.
