Re: What did you want to be/do when you grew up? - January 12th 2014, 11:21 AM

When I was little, I wanted to be everything possible, singer, nurse, actress, film director, model, fashion stylist, dog trainer, a vet, teacher, tv host, designer of all things, a composer or artist with all kinds of arts considered, a factory worker, assistant, secretary, computer hacker, spy, detective, philologist, animator, economist, baker, theologist, philosopher, illustrator, storyteller, psychologist, matchmaker etc etc. I had way too many. And it wasn't hard to dream of everything and live those dreams passionately as a child. For some reason as well, the older I got, my ambitions grew more irrational, about to reach the peak of all irrationality. Let's say I started thinking of jobs that don't exist on Earth. Yet.

The one job I also stuck to (for almost a year) was travelling agent, but that one got rejected by reality before I experimented with many other jobs in my head. During one point in my life, I didn't want to have a job but the dream of being a student for my entire life. Ironically after that, I wanted to own an organisation. Didn't stop there.


I moved back while
my head was turned.

Upside down
closer to the end.

Afraid of the dark
within future times.

I'm drowning there,
my final chase.
