Dreams vs Reality
What did you dream of doing with your life while you were still in school? How has reality measured up?
When I was younger, I wanted to be a stay at home mom and author. Now? Yeah, not happening. |

I never really had any dreams. Sad.

Likewise.
I admire people who did, and accomplished them. I was always just sort of, "meh". That's good and bad. For one, I've never accomplished anything very impressive, but I've also never been unsatisfied with how life's turned out for me. I make decent money... got my boys. Hell, things are alright. Certainly could be a hell of a lot worse. |

Everything happens for a reason. I went through a time when I was really disappointed when I realized life was not going to go according to what I had planned. It took me until not too long ago to let loose of the reins a little, just go wherever life is bound to take me, and be content with it.

I wanted to be a Doctor or a Meteorologist. Now, I'm just an unemployed Machinist studying Information Technology.

I think this is what being a Jehovah's Witness does to you. Denies you dreams. You're taught that the world has nothing to offer you and it all needs to ****ing die so Jehovah can remake it.
Well **** that.

Sure... my first career choice (moving up within the JW's) didn't work out seeing as I left and am now shunned by everyone I knew my entire life growing up, and my second one (Army) I was able to do for 2 years before being medically discharged. Went loony for a bit. Got my shit together and now I have a job I love, a good woman by my side, and a purpose in life. Life is the best right now for me than it has ever been. |

My dream, Ms. luv, was to be an International Playboy. I was handicapped, however, by the fact that my family was poor and we had no jet. Plus, in my home town, the girls were, for the most part ... uh ... cosmetically challenged - not the best place to begin a career as an International Playboy.
I still hope that, one day, I shall achieve my dream. Or, perhaps, I shall be reincarnated as one of those bad boys. In the meantime, I sometimes speak in various and mysterious dialects to the beautiful and witty Mrs. FAX whilst engaged in the "encounter amore" which, in some small way, seems to help suppress any residual feelings of regret.
