My motto has always been "Do whatever the F*** makes you happy!" 

At the end of the day it's your life and you should be able to, if not obligated to do just that.  Make the most of it, enjoy it, you only have one.  No matter what you chose to do in this life there will always be someone willing and wanting to judge you, so might as well have them judging you while you have a smile on your face.  Something they prob don't do often themselves.... BE HAPPY, BE YOURSELF!
