Man, I would listen to, like, nobody. Just do what you think is good and follow your heart, right? Like, everybody peer-presses you into doing stuff you don't want to do. And, like, they tell you, like, parents or family or society and tell you. But, like, try your own thing, you know? Because it probably, it might work out. You can steer the ship, you know?
