When I Grow Up


When I was younger I never had big dreams for my future. I thought about it, sure, but I never had the epiphany moment of tada! this is what I'm going to be when I grow up. Never had the dream of a big wedding with Mr. Perfect with 2.5 kids and a white picket fence. Never wanted to be rich or famous either. I remember someone once asked me what I would do with a million dollars and I said donate most of it. I'd pay off my bills and maybe buy a house and a car or two. But ultimately what do I need it for?

Back to the question at hand. What did I want to be when I grew up? Teacher, poet, songwriter, rockstar, screenwriter, editor, journalist, actress, sex therapist. The list goes on and on. But am I doing any of these things professionally? No. But I'm ok with that.

Think about what you wanted to be. Are you doing it? Are you ok with that? If not then do something about it! You can doooo ittttt! haha

And I lied, I did have a big goal. To be happy :-)
