If you're 13 right now here's what you should do:
Spend all your time reading philosophy, sci fi, poetry, and history. Go to museums and look at every damn thing in there. Watch all the classic films and maybe every single movie made in the 90s. Learn how to write prose, document your thoughts and observations as thoroughly as you can. Go outside, play sports, learn how to play an instrument. Paint. Listen to all kinds of music.
Live life as humanly as you possibly can, and bring that love and energy back to whatever it is you decide to do in the future.

DM if you want an invite to Athena.
