sometimes you dont need to listen to what somebody else has to say about your life and your choices.
sometimes you just have to do the right thing for yourself. because at the end of the day you are the person who will live that life, take responsibilities for the decisions and face consequences. not your friends, not your relatives, not even your mom. they all will be standing aside and shaking their heads pitting you. they all will come with new suggestions to improve you, to help you. and they all will be gone at the end.
so why the hell bother? its your life and its only your decision.
