did you once wanted to be, what path did you take and why, and what are you now?

If you are now not what you wanted to be, do you plan on heading towards what you wanted to be?

I wanted to be a chef because I absolutely love cooking. However, things changed and I needed to get away from home so I joined the military. I can't wait to get out of this shit, and either go be a computer network technician, or be a chef. Two very different things, and a lot to consider.

I think the only thing I ever had aspirations to be when I was younger was a writer. Then, when I was old enough to know you actually needed money to live off of I wasn't sure what I wanted to be. Along the way I aimlessly got a standard associates degree, got married and had kids. I'm happy enough being a wife and mother now, but I still enjoy writing, mostly for my own entertainment.

 

Adam, I enjoy cooking too, hate the clean up....I can admire the dedication you have to want to be a chef

[Nonexistent]

And after all this have you ever met another interest that you wished you could have found and got into sooner?

[Faeling]

Not really....ok well maybe my Hubs  ....I never thought a Husband and kids would be my end all be all........especially kids, never imagined myself having kids. However now I couldn't imagine my life any other way, my family completes me *just made myself gag  *

ugh i used to want to be a wife but i really suck at choosing partners. I decided to have some kids willy-nilly, get a degree in business technology, and work in a call center. I've accepted I'm a horrible decision maker and judge of character, and switched life goals to becoming a health coach. I'm currently taking free, not-for-credit classes to make sure it's a field I really enjoy and am ready to make more than a super hobby from.

I remembered Yung as an extremely active member, objectively speaking, but whether that was a good thing for his position in life I cannot say. I learnt yesterday that you two separated, I do not know what lead to it, but my sincere condolences that that relationship ended as your disappointment.

 

Though it does open you up to what could be rather than stagnating in what could have been. It is refreshing to hear that you are looking foward to exploring what other potentials and interests you may have and expanding towards that

Did I fuck up, I'm not very good with holding conversations

It's probably me. My first response was my tactful attempt at "don't be sorry, breaking up was literally one of the best decisions I ever made."

 

I am pretty excited about the rest of my life though.

Nah i have pretty poor social skills.

But yeah you have freedom to seek your ambition now, i think it's wonderful

Is just that sometimes our history isn't perfect, and if we look back at it, which we should, there's nothing wrong with feeling a little sadness or guilt

I wanted to be a professional violinist. I went to music college, spent 4 years being shouted at by an angry Russian man, and became a professional violinist.

And then I realised the lifestyle was atrocious, packed it all in and worked in public relations in classical music instead, because of having some very good industry connections.

When I first got out of high school I really wanted to join the FBI, so I started taking all the criminal justice degree requirements. Then I got a job and went into the accounting side of things. About 4 years ago I wanted to be a computer engineer, got all the info needed to start school again, then I got lazy and got a shit job for fun and then moved. 

 

Now I do purchasing/accounting

I wanted to study ancient languages, then I wanted to study Literature, then I wanted to curl up in a ball and die.

If it helps, it was an utterly miserable life and I don't think you missed out in any way. I really loved music college, even though it was hours and hours of practicing the same tiny passages over and over, and being shouted at a lot. I had the same tutor for 3 out of 4 years and we had an extreme love/hate relationship.

Working though...really horrible. I toured a lot internationally, so regularly missed friends' birthdays, engagements, promotions, housewarmings...whole life was happening back in London while I was in Germany or somewhere that I didn't particularly want to be. You spend a lot of time in very cramped conditions, getting quite uncomfortable and inflicting injuries on yourself. Huge numbers of my orchestra were playing through pain on a daily basis. Music is a seriously bitchy industry too, not pleasant being in that environment with frenemies all day every day, especially on tour.
