What is something you wanted to be when you were younger, but no one could ever guess 🤔?

[JoyGirl]

I just remembered that at some point, in my very early teens, I wanted to be a Nun. 🤪

What about you? 😌
What is something you wanted to be, but no one could ever guess? 🤔

[HighlyVolatile]

I wanted to be a field biologist in my teens. I loved to study animals and had a pet reticulated python I caught in Singapore, a pet fruit bat I caught (flew into my yard), a blue tarantula like so that I caught in Malaysia:

I don't think most people could guess that about me now though unless they hang out with me in the wilderness. I no longer keep such exotic or dangerous pets. Yet I loved to study their habitats, mating habits, eating habits, etc, and most of all take the risk of handling them after learning how they worked.

[HighlyVolatile]

Also had a pet scorpion (not so dangerous though, just a wood scorpion), iguana, salamander, tree frogs, beetles, rabbit, tortoise, turtles... I had sort of a miniature zoo in my place back then (was around 12 years old) constantly feeding and looking after them.

[JoyGirl]

Interesting. 😮

[HighlyVolatile]

I also found a baby saltwater crocodile that I wanted to keep as a pet but my father wouldn't let me. :-( :-D

[HighlyVolatile]

I loved animals a lot and didn't seem to have the normal kind of sense that people have to avoid things that might be dangerous. I got my share of scars and injuries from that sort of recklessness though. But I always wanted to channel into something helpful for animals or people.

[HighlyVolatile]

It's kind of my worse personal defect is that I can't seem to register what is dangerous properly. But I think I could have put it to good purpose if I was a field biologist. Another one that didn't occur to me until much later in life was a fireman. I think I could have made a decent fireman if I did my life over again and mainly because of this defect, not a soldier though because I don't want to hurt people if I can help it, just help them. I think most people who know me could guess fireman but probably not field biologist since very few people get to see me handle wild animals these days.

[JoyGirl]

Thank you for sharing! ^-^ 💜

[dustybiker]

Pretty tarantella. We had a rose in school.

[HighlyVolatile]

@dustybiker Those are very cool! These days I no longer have as much interest to keep such exotic pets; I seem to have lost that phase although I still enjoy studying about them. One thing I wish I could have done in another life is to learn sign language and try to communicate with apes who understand it like Koko (RIP) or through lexigrams with Kanzi.

[dustybiker]

@highlyvolatile That would have been amazing experiences.
I had wanted to work with monkey’s/other myself at one point. I never could have come through the captivity part though. This life is brutal in so many ways.

[HighlyVolatile]

@dustybiker I think that's one of the reasons I no longer want to keep pets in general along with the grief of seeing them pass away. I do have two stray cats I adopted but they were in critical condition and after rushing them to the vet, my wife and I figured their chances of continuing to survive on the streets are slim. The ethics become very muddled to me in these contexts.

[dustybiker]

@highlyvolatile Understandable. 😎

[FýrdracaDócincel]

Hey go figure, I wanted to be a priest lol.

[JoyGirl]

Really? 😮

[FýrdracaDócincel]

Yahuh.

[JoyGirl]

Interesting. 🥴

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

The youngest I can remember I wanted to be a pirate and a president, then at about 13-14 I wanted to be a nun too haha, then I lost my faith at around 16-17 and have never thought of it anymore.

[JoyGirl]

😂😂😂

[JoyGirl]

If I may ask, how did you lose it? 🤔

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

At some point I realized, either God was deaf or he was evil.

Then I thought and read a lot and found out maybe there’s not God at all, there’s just me, I am the God of my own life, the only person who can save me. So I stopped praying, I prayed for years and I felt like I was never heard.

Right now, I am agnostic.

[JoyGirl]

💜💜💜.

[lrina]

oooh a nun? interesting choice. personally, i wanted to be an astronaut LMAO. that was when i was around 5 i think? but yeah.

[JoyGirl]

What do you want to be, now? :)

[lrina]

@joygirl a fighter pilot would be super cool!!! but that's definitely not something that'll happen LOL, so as far as "practical" jobs go i'd like to just be an airline pilot. that seems to be the job that would fit me best. if you're comfortable with saying, what's your current/dream job?

[JoyGirl]

Don’t give up on being a pilot in the future. 💜
I am a Sociology Major, and I hope to go to law school a few years after graduating. :)

[lrina]

ooh, ambitious and respectable choice!! niceee

[JoyGirl]

Thank you. :) 💜

[Msputiton]

A singer.

You will from now be known as nun joy

[JoyGirl]

Nuuuuu…lmao 😭😂

[Msputiton]

Oh that's right it would he sister joy🤣

[JoyGirl]

We shall never speak of this, again. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Msputiton]

[JoyGirl]

[Guy13]

A travel agent-sales…organizing travel and meeting different people groups. I started making plans and routes when I was 12.
—I travel now but I don’t get paid for it….

[MyaMermaid]

A Nun sounds really interesting! I’ve alphas wondered what it would be like! And how one does become a nun! :o

Mine would probably of been a dancer or a teacher of some sort :)

[gabby100]

never give it much thought. I liked the idea of being a nurse but not very good with blood. I remember the first time dad let me have a drive in his car. I was 13 , I liked doing that. but all i got girls dont for a living.

[Andres77]

I knew what I wanted early, like at 6.
Then I made a successful career out of it.
Still have all my body parts and most of my mind for now... I did ok.
Thank God.

[TheMajesticKing777]

So you wanted to be married to God? I feel like that's a bit perverted, it's why I believe catholics are perhaps demonic from certain things but that's a personal opinion and I have no proof to my assumption

[Ez-Bri-Z]

I wanted to be a lawyer but it may not have been hard to guess since I argued my points a lot.

[spiralshape]

I wanted to be an industrial designer and design electric trucks which weren't the norm back when I was 13/14

[StrawberryShake]

A dominatrix or a burlesque dancer. I still would like to be both 🙂

[dustybiker]

I can’t say.. it still might come true. 😎

[JoyGirl]

Hmmm 🧐👀

[Mark987]

I wanted to be an Astronaut ( which kid didn't), then a cop, then a zoologist.. lol

[NathanDavis]

an international, rogue assassin

[dustybiker]

God. I can sure pick friends.

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker I wanted to hunt down poachers... especially those at the pole, clubbing down baby seals

[dustybiker]

That is fantastic. I was just thinking about them the other day myself.

[JoyGirl]

👀👀👀
Imma stay quiet. 🥴

[NathanDavis]

@joygirl don't be shy... lol

nun outfits could be a great cover up @dustybiker

although, I would dress as their chauffeur instead

[JoyGirl]

LMAO 🤣

[dustybiker]

🤣🤣

[dustybiker]

@NathanDavis Wouldn’t that be captain?

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker yes, we can get a speed boat

[dustybiker]

Very bond-esque.

[NathanDavis]

@dustybiker looks like we need a third...

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Both of the things I was considering back in Season 3-4 were obvious

[JoyGirl]

Ummm…whaaaa…

[OneNineZero]

I had so much darkness inside me I could not see daylight

[JoyGirl]

Please, tell me this has changed. 🥺
There is a light, even in the darkness.

[OneNineZero]

It won't change it will go with me to another world

[JoyGirl]

I don't know what else to say.
Do you want to talk about it? ;-;

[OneNineZero]

No, lete leave it there

[JoyGirl]

Well, I hope your world gets brighter! 💜

[OneNineZero]
