Did you think you'd be popular, successful, famous, have your dream job?
How did you envision what your life would be like when you were younger?
Did you think you'd be popular, successful, famous, have your dream job?
I thought it'd be way, WAY less cool than it turned out being. I had my dream job, then found out there were jobs way better, had them as well. Made way more money than I ever thought possible coming from a single parent home where my mom had to work three jobs. Now neither of us are worried about whatever bills come in and she's loving her house like never before. I've got a larger house than I would have thought growing up with dedicated space for activities I love.
I never wanted to be famous. Quite the opposite. I've had enough people give me awards that professionally it'd be hard to argue I'm not successful; and popular... I've always valued a few close over many shallow friends, and I've got a full squad that'd stack on the corner and clear a building with me.
I AM very popular with my rescue kittens however, and that's all the fame I need.
Growing up and watching so many different action, movies and TV series of secret agents and commandos I was decided at a very early age that I was going in the military. There were a few dream jobs that I had and I’m thankful that I got to live out in stream in that respect.
My motive for joining the military changed in my reason for staying in changed over time as a matured and learned a lot about service and sacrifice. I was not thinking about service when I joined, but I soon learned that I needed to grow up.
When I was a teenager, I decided that I wasn’t getting married till I was at least 30 but when I was 20 I met somebody that convinced me that she love me so I threw out all my plants, and I’ve been regretting it ever since.
I’m grateful and thankful that I am the father of two wonderful daughters.
They never cease to challenge me
Have my dream job, working in a office, showing the team my ideas of blueprints I had when I was in high school and I can make it real, and probably with a spouse of my own.
However... that was going to be an awful road to go down to. With no happiness in sight, even in the end. :c
I thought I’d be a palaeontologist digging bones in the side of a mountain somewhere. Never thought a guy would like me or I’d have a kid.
I’m a SAHM 🥲

I thought I would be construction worker, running the machines & having a happy life, spending time with my first dog and family.
Well, my dog has since passed away & I realized that a construction worker is not a fun job. How our views change as we grow up...
I did go to enrol into college, to study motor mechanics, but before I completed the application, I got a job. Before this I wanted to be a fully fledged mechanic with my own business, my own garage, this time next year, I was going to be a millionaire lol 🤣🤣
I thought I would graduate from highschool with my level 3, and then go to university to study and become an occupational therapist.
I thought I would be wildly more successful (and perhaps more famous) than I am now. The reality is... humbling.
I really never envisioned my life. I just deal with stuff as it comes. Want to do something or want something so I just keep moving forward. So I never really wonder or guess about what to do or what I want. I tell people I am rigged... lol
Just like it is now. I just didn't think I would have to wait so long for it to happen.
I never had a vision of my life. I was just sleep walking through life. Maybe I am stillndoing that.
I did not envision, honestly. I rarely thought about it.
I think I am what you call one of those sheeps. Jut getting along.
I thought I would be a single auto mechanic living in a different state. I never wanted to get married or have kids.
I honestly thought I was gonna live by myself in a foreign country. Little did I know about the storm what was coming.
I thought I'd be a rock star. No, it did not and will not happen. No worries. I still enjoy playing.
I thought about a lot of things, I thought I was going to work at a company, and I thought I was going to be an investment adviser
I don't think I actually thought about the future that much when I was young which is probably not a very good thing.
Well, I am have been in my dream profession for close to 50 years. So, not really.
I was supposed to have retired to an island by the time I turned 30. :-)
Well, I could say that my 20's, specially between 2011 until early 2015, was a period which I call: "I was happy and I didn't knew it"
Nothing like this shitshow.
Honestly thought I'd have died before adulthood
I had many dreams, but I could not achieve much
Successful and strong
