What Happened to Our Childhood Dreams?

The question that I posed to a few friends and family members....

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I got alot of interesting answers...A horror-action script writer... an attorney... "Free as a Butterfly"... I don't remember, but I just know I wanted to make enough money to support myself and my family.... and then there is me, I wanted to be a choreographer, BADLY!!!

SO, WHAT HAPPENED?

I sent the first question via text because I didn't want to forget who I sent it to or their answer. Afterwards, I placed phone calls.

So, what happened?.... LIFE HAPPENED!!

This is the same answer that I got from everyone. Some offered more of an explaination, but the end result the same. How does LIFE HAPPEN???

Well, after a few converstaions with friends, we came to this conclusion... As a child, we don't really know what we want. We see what others do, and it appeals to our senses. We idolize people, and their professions. My idol...Paula Abdul..not now...THEN, lol!! We go through life, and our environment changes us. Whether it be friends, family, school, talents, circumstances....they all played a role in our current profession. My problem is...if you wanted to be something when you were younger, and by chance, in your gut, you still want to be that scriptwriter, model, or dancer, and you are not happy with your current profession...what's keeping you from making changes?

CAN YOU REALLY LEARN TO LIVE WITH REGRETS???
