as humans, it's staggering how little we actually try for what we really want.
we set our goals lower than we want and we don't even make those.
we imagine ourselves in one career and then aim for something else. why?
and it's not just that nobody cares.
people care and then are scared of what they could do, somehow.
it's so often true of me. why does everyone hold back so much?
does fear drive this whole world around on its grey monotonous axis?

so what's yours, Sam? the career you imagine yourself in?
i was thinking of becoming the pope, actually.
that's what really inspired this post.
how cool would that be.
either that or a dancing penguin.
ahhh.
I can totally see MY BROTHER as the pope.
What do you want to do Emily? What about you Legolas?
what about you Eowyn?
i'd love to sing. do love to sing. but really, i don't know if it would be the same as a career, y'know? i think maybe that's why people don't always persue their dreams like that.
yeah, I agree. Like, I love to play piano, but making it a career would seem like a job. I don't know if writing would be the same...
I have quite a few ambitions, which I decide I want to do depending on what mood I'm in. I wonder if I could do them all. Irish Dance seems like it might be a possibility in my future. But I don't know if it is the life I want to live. I don't exactly know what it would be, and if it would be to complicated.
My other main dream (which isn't all that much more realistic) is to buy a big plot of land, get someone to build a castle there, and then people can come and see it. But it would be so much more, because the people who came would dress up in medieval costumes, and then they would go past the gate, and everthing would be medieval. It would be like going back in time. And Winsome is going to design the castle, and Michaela is going to take care of the horses, and I am going to be the beautiful, gracious queen who presides over the feasts every night. I have tons of ideas. : ) Or I might do something with costumes. I love sewing, especially if it is a costume. Pretty Dresses : ) So I could start a costume store.
My other plans are pretty drab in comparrison, I think I would do well as a teacher, and I know I want to be a mother. Although a mother isn't drab, I know. It would be wonderfull. Anyway, I think that might be sortof hard to pull all of that off. In someways I'm just like a little child-( I will be a fireman. Actually, a policeman, wait, I want to be a farmer, nevermind, I think a lawyer would be cool, no I want to work at a construction site.) - My brother never can make up his mind either.
