Here’s what I want to do with my life:
I want to publish a book. A novel or two or three or more. And a book of poetry. I want to do interior design. I think it would be so much fun to choose everything to go in a room and where and how it should be presented. I happen to think I’m good at presentation, making things look good. We’ll see. I want to sing. I don’t think I’m very good at it, but I would still like to do it. Although, having my life pried into by everyone is very unappealing to me. So I actually don’t know about that one. I want to make things. Like quilts…and sell them. That would be so much fun. Quilting is an activity where you have to completely concentrate on what you’re doing and not letting anything intrude into your head. Except when you’re doing something like tying or basting…those are pretty mindless activities that doesnt require much thought and concentration. I want to travel. I want to learn the history of places on my own. I’ve found that history is very interesting and it fascinates me. But I’ve also found that I can’t stand being taught history. Having a teacher lecture me on history is very unappealing. I like to learn on my own, my own pace. I want to go to Ireland, Italy, Greece, and anywhere that has a rich history and culture, because I also find other cultures very interesting and fascinating. I want to make a lot of money and give it to worthy causes. I want to actually DO something to help people. I want to learn. But on my own…I hate teachers….no offense to some people who want to be one, honestly….I just don’t like people teaching me…I prefer to learn on my own. I want to be a lawyer. I want to be in the FBI. There’s so much I want to do with my life…and most of this only pertains to careers!! How the hell am I supposed to choose what I’m going to do for a living?!
