What were your dreams growing up and do you enjoy romanticizing them if you could?

[idelttoilfsadness21]

Dreams fade, humans grow, but the inner child never goes away. Share your dreams and how you can romanticize them.

I'll go first.

I wanted to be an architect or a singer, and I am not, but I still somewhat pretend like I'm taking notes, studying, reading, and it makes me feel a bit happy through get the day done and started and puts me back into when it all happened. I stay focused in waking up and stay giving myself some peace of mind to energize the feeling and process or music helps when it's related to what I picture in my head as an architect, I give myself room to just do the little tasks, and for the singing part, I always do vocalizing lessons and put some time to allowing the instrumentals I like to be song while allowing the lyrics to grow through my harmonies and tones when I sing. I am still working to perfect this but a simple romanization makes it feels the soul a bit! ((:

I grew up wanting to be a train engineer. Never happened, but to this day I will sit and watch trains go by wishing I was the one driving it.

I wanted to be an American cop (from uk) It always seemed so glamorous and dangerous and you got a gun! That's one of my dreams I'm glad I didn't follow...
Genuinely though, a close family member (my offing mum) told me around 12 that I seemed like one of those people who would just float through life and be fine. Made a big deal about it being my path. Not needing to focus, I mean it's not her fault I did lol but I did and am now 42 in a homeless shelter organising the end of my like. Alone in a shared hose with a raging alcoholic who is apparently a rapist too!

... I feel I've changed the tone of this thread ignore me :D
