I’m curious to see what people wanted to be in life and if they were able to or not because of sz.
I’m kinda embarrassed to say but I wanted to be something involving fitness. Or a top second, metalcore singer.
Needless to say I did not achieve these things
I love metalcore. Bands like northlane, like moths to flames, bury tomorrow (the original singer), architects. So many goodies out there these days i reckon.
Im not sure what my aspirations were really. Maybe just not a loser? Haha failed that one i think. In all honesty i think im glad that none of my dreams as a teen came true. I was a bit of a psycho with terrible ideas.
As a child I think I wanted to be a dr likd someone I looked up to .
I’ll say what I want to be now ….
A mathematician
A comedian
A surgeon
A cafe worker
A care worker
A writer and director
And I want all of those jobs but i choose when if how where how long for etc etc only if I want to and say yes .
As a kid I wanted to be an entrepreneur/ investor/ politician, basically craving money and power.
Now I want to be a healer, supporting people in life.
People can make transitions in life.
@Jonathan2 Very good sir. That’s probably the best thing anyone can be really.
Biologist or a doctor.
I wanted to be a school bus driver. Ended up being an elementary school teacher so close. Didn’t last long in the profession though, that was my major psychotic break.
I wanted to be in medical research/ research of some sort. I only majored in English because I was particularly good at it and scared of college after missing high school. Teaching seemed like an idea that naturally followed that. It’s not necessarily where I would have been if I could have chosen anything, though.
I wanted to be a chef, and I was briefly, but I lost that career because of a severe back injury. I can’t physically handle working in a kitchen now. Every other career I have had just sort of happened. I still have my Journeyman Chef ticket and my Red Seal, but they are just for show these days.
as a little girl i wanted to be an air force pilot… it never happened but i did join the army instead though.
Game developer. A lot of work but no motivation to do it. Also programming is harder after my brain has been deep fried.
I have a degree in kinesiology and can work in the fitness industry with it but only did for a week before I got sz. I never knew 100℅ what I wanted to be as sz hit me at 21y.o. but my parents wanted me to be a Dr.
I wanted to be a research scientist. My idea was to study things like Alzheimer’s. I lost everything bc of sz.
Never knew what i wanted to do in life, thought about being a painter/artist or becoming a teacher. Now i just focus on art so i guess it worked out
I wanted to be a. Neuropsychiatrist. But SZ kicked my butt before I even finished school.
I was always into computers since grammar school but got side tracked into physics in college. I managed to finish two undergrad degrees in each but then got sick.
I wanted to be a pilot. Too bad my eyes are terrible.
Maybe in my next life I can be a spoiled, loved house cat.
yes i wanted to be a pilot too. that was when i was young.
really i wanted to be a dad someday.
That was also on my list, but my heart condition meant I would never have passed the physical, and that was back when it worked better.
I wish I could be a musical artist and a painter.
Also a teacher
