I May Not Be Able to Start a Conversation, But I Know How to End One

The other day, someone asked me what my major is. I told them I was studying creative writing and literature. He asked me what I wanted to do with that.

"I want to be a writer," I told him, because I want to be a writer.

"You mean like," he said, "writing books?" He sounded angry and confused. Before I could say anything he had walked away.

Now I know how to get out of any conversation. I'll just tell them I want to be a writer.
