I know that everyone has dreams. Dreams about what they want to be in life, what they want to do and have, who they want to become. Generally, people also have dreams imposed upon them from family, friends, society, etc. One of my dreams used to be to get married to a guy I met in college, become an English and Journalism teacher and have kids. I would have summers off and we would spend lots of time with my family. I would still be best friends with people I knew in high school and hopefully have gained some more in college.
I am 36 now and my life has turned out far different than the life I dreamed of so long ago. I think the only thing in my earlier dreams is I am married, but not to a guy I met in college (not that it really matters). I feel like because I thought my life would end up so much like my dreams, I was afraid to try things that wouldn't get me to those dreams. However, some where along the way, I made other choices. Otherwise I wouldn't have ended up where I am today, which is a pretty good place to be.
No I am not famous or rich, I don't have it all figured out. I do, however, believe that many of those earlier dreams were in fact dreams because of who I thought I needed to become. I thought those things were supposed to happen for me.
In reality, I have an MBA. I work in healthcare as a Business Administrator before this job which is more recent, I have always work in non-profits. I have a dog. I read a lot of books. I exercise as a hobby. I love to cook and bake, but don't do it as much as I used to. I don't have kids and I am ok with that. I love to try new things, visit new places and realize that there is always tomorrow. I like my life.
The one thing I have always wanted to do was write a book. I have started many times. I think I have some unique stories to share, or maybe even be able to dabble in the world of non-fiction. Who knows?
I just read a blog post from a new to me blog that made me want to start blogging again. I want to work with my writing and putting items out there for others to read. I want to write and contribute things that I know.
I have been discovering that not everyone thinks the way that I do (obviously) and some people find me interesting (really).
