Childhood Dreams

"What did you want to be as a child, and how does that compare to how you define yourself now?"

Doctor. What kid didn't want to be a doctor when they grew up? You know... other than the ones that wanted to be firefighters, and police officers, and well... never mind.

The kind of doctor I wanted to be was an eye doctor. Specifically because I saw eye doctors so much that I thought they were the coolest thing. As a child, I believe the "hero" you associate with growing up to be like is also connected to what the world stimulates kids into thinking who exactly are the heroes.

But let's be honest. Not every kid grows up to be what he or she expected they'd be by the time they are an adult. For myself, my dream job is social media management for upcoming actors/artists/writers/etc. I want to be able to teach young adults how to manager their social media in a way that won't be harmful to their careers. Handle their press conference and appearances, and maybe even be their personal manager for their career.

Dreams change. Don't let that stop you from pursing every one of them.

Who needs money?

"What would your life look like if money had no meaning? Would you work? where would you live? Who would you spend your time with? What would you do more/less of?"

No money? HALLELUJAH! Is that insensitive? Who cares! All my life I have been told "there isn't enough money to do this" or "and who is gonna pay for that? I'm not!" So forgive me if I'd be all the more merrier if money did not exist.

I would definitely work abroad; possibly in Venice, Italy or Dublin, Ireland. Yes, I understand the greatness of being born in a "free" country and family is important and blah blah blah. However, honestly, all I want to do is travel and live on my own and find a meaning to life without having to worry about paying rent and bills.

I would spend my time with my friends when I could, my family when I wanted, and engage myself in meeting new people. I would travel more, EVERYWHERE. I wouldn't take a job just because I needed the money to pay rent, and actually spend my time doing something I love. Who needs money anyways?! In my money-free world, everything would be fine and dandy. Oh, and I'd probably drink a lot more Amaretto Sours... because free alcohol. That's why!!

Goodbye reality, I'll be leaving now.

Selfishness

"In what way are you selfish?"

I'm pretty much a friend hoarder.. is that a thing? No. Wait. That wasn't the word I was looking for. I am selfish when it comes to my friends, and I don't think there is a word for that. You want to spend time with my best friend? Nope. You think its cute to call MY best friend your best friend? HAHA you're funny.

I know they are not a possession that can be claimed, but they are still considered MINE in my mind.

I cherish the time I have spent getting to know my friends personally and emotionally. I don't like having to share that connection with anyone else. When I am unable to see my friends due to work or school and distance, it makes me that much more selfish when I see them doing well without me.

Almost like I'm left out. But, oh well. Life moves on, and being selfish isn't so bad.
