A veterinarian. I loved animals. I would adopt every stray that even came close to the yard. It drove my mom nuts. But ultimately I dropped out of high school, had some kids, and became the best version of myself that I could for my kids. So I became a stay at home wife, then ex wife, then working mom, back to stay at home mom... I feel like a transformer in the sense one minute I'm this, but hold up something's happening, So I change into an even more badass version of myself. <----- definitely not this cocky, but I'm pretty amazing

After reading this I don't sound so amazing especially being that I got divorced and what not, but I'm going to stick by the fact that all that crap aside, I'm still pretty awesome. I might not be the brightest crayon in the box, but I'm pretty nifty. And I forgot to add, at one point I wanted to be a lawyer. Then have my own business. And well now basically after having my kids, and once they've grown up, I want to foster children...

I Really Like How Confident You Are , I Wanna Be This Confident One day Too , Aand I Wanted To Be A Lawyer At Some point Too .

Thank you, it has taken many years to get my confidence to this point. I had to learn to love myself and accept that I'm not perfect, and I'm not ever going to be the best BUT I do have something to offer. Let me tell ya I have days where I have zero confidence. And those days are hard. I have to remind myself that we all have talents and what not, but each of us were made special in our own ways. And being a lawyer would be amazing. I like to argue, not in a bad way, but I like to solve issues and if arguing gets me there then so be it 😄

This is gold 😂😂

Much respect and I encourage you keep rock n rollin just as you are.

My experience with confidence is, I would’ve liked to have known the importance of being humble in all things and also understanding our human limits. Had I kept both those things in mind, my confidence levels would’ve been astronomical.

Of the dreams I’ve had and remember still as a kid, there was this one with Lugia, a legendary Pokémon as my personal “pet” hahaha. Lugia would come fly by my room window to scoop me up and we’d coast the skies of dreamlandia (made that land up just now 🤓)

I have no recollection of what I wanted to be. Which kinda sucks now that I I think about it lol but to bring myself up, I’ve always saw a bright future for myself. Even going through tough times. Such as now. I’m in the shits shit of the shittiest shit could ever shit 😀 hahah but it’s aite.

Uhm, just dropped a random thought cuz I’m bored and want to stop typing but ADHD got me clipped to phone and RAWWR <drops random thought>

You truly, probably, more than likely know only as much as you don’t.

🤓✌️

I wanted to be a lawyer too! Hahaha! I do believe that everything happens for a reason and if God wanted me to be a lawyer I would have been one. But Im not. Im grateful for my life. Life has been very down recently but I know it's only temporary and I need not give up. I just have to ride the wave right now and Im.embarking on a new career. So im excited. Thank u for your post😊

I always wanted to be a writer as a kid and. write a book - have been published a few times, no longer interested in writing a book ... been struggling with a chronic illness for almost 30 years, consider myself a lifelong learner so in my Old Age the sky is the limit

Amazing . I Wish You Luck

I wanted to be an actress or a singer. I'm about to turn 50 and in a lot of ways, I still do. But I'm not about to try living in New York or LA, and I realize the perils of trying to break into show business and how some of it is just blind luck of being in the right place at the right time. Currently, I'm considering taking guitar lessons again. Or eventually joining a church choir when the pandemic gets under control. Or even just going on YouTube and singing stuff. I'm so shy, I know you have to put yourself out there sometimes.

I dreamed for a little love, I'm sorry this is not a happy response. Right now I fight for each day. I look for help, but like everything else the virus wins. I don't know how to get through all of this. Found my son hanging, took care of my mother while she suffered through lung cancer after she took care of me through my stage 3 breast cancer. Lost what little family I have left. My mother suffered so long with lung cancer, not eating and in so much pain. Hospice is great, but you have to take care of your love one even through everything. Very very hard to take care of your mother while you see your son's face when you cut him down. I think my cancer is back, that's okay I can't take anymore. Who lives through all this? Last week I found out my husband of 20 years is guy and has hiv. I got tested for everything. There is so much more, but I can't believe all of this. I'm so lost, and every night I wish I wouldn't wake up. I tell myself there is not much more I can go through, but honestly I will not have peace until my life here is done. I will never put anyone through what my son put me through even when no one cares. Thank you for listening, I just don't know where to go from here.

Thank you so much. It's so very hard, but I need to keep fighting and not let the darkness take over. I pray for a little happiness.

in reply to Misspell

God bless you. Seriously. Bless your heart. That is a HUGE UNFORSEEN amount of loss. And I can't even begin to fathom what you have been through. I could never image the pain you felt with your son. I'm so so so sorry 😢 or your mom. That's horrible
