LIFE CHOICES Options

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Doesn't every teenager go through a stage where they want to be an actress, a model, a rockstar, a rap star, some sort of star.

Sometimes I want to be a hiphop artist, I want to write books, I want to be a big famous chef, I want to act, I want to be in a rock band.

More recently, a rock band. I have some friends who are in bands and they've been getting gigs and shit, and I just was at Warped Tour and I got so hyped up watching the bands and now I want to be in one. Maybe next week I'll be like haha, I'm so stupid. Maybe next month I'll be sitting down with some friends and going over band shit. Who knows.

I'm just trying to find some comfort. Does anyone else struggle with what they want to be, and want so bad to have more than picket fences and green lawns with your wife/husband ? Does it frustrated you enough to make you cry ?

=\
I dont know.

You can't do everything you want to in life. Just have to make some choices and try to be happy with them.

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't have dreams and try to reach for the stars. As long as you try your best, that's all that matters.

Wow I sound like a dumbass. That whole thing right there is like an oxymoron. I'm learning as I go so yeah rock on you.

[SilentD]

i know exactly what you mean.

i dont always want to be a "star" though. sometimes i just wanna be something so badly, but then the next week i'll find something else that's sooo awesome so i change my mind.

i'm supposed to be majoring in business right now, but i just totally changed my mind to advertising so i can stick to my graphic designing.. my scholarship went to waste and i dont know what school i want to go to for the fall. rawr.

[pinacoolada]

I've never had problems about what I want to be, because I take things like that one day at a time. But I do remember a time when I really really wanted to be a nun. And not just a nun; a lawyer nun. =P

[*MyMichelle*]

I want to be a fashion designer, but everyone has put me down since I started drawing stick characters with cool hats at the age of two.

It is frustrating, and I've basically given up my dream. :T

[MrStrife]

I don't know what I'm going to do with my life. Tried being a chef, skateboarder, lawyer, gangster, but I was never satisfied. But I do know what I love to do. I'm trying to aim to be an Olympic wrestler. Even if I don't compete in the Olympics, I just want to see how far I go and collect as many trophies as I can. You all can reach your goals guys, so stay positive.

[synthase]

I've always wanted to be an actress but people just don't see me as an enthusiastic person.
ahh well that dream is over

When I was little I wanted to be a paleontologist.
Then I wanted to be an archeologist.
Then I wanted to be a science teacher.
Then I wanted to be an architect for a long time.
Then I wanted to be a psychiatrist.
Then I wanted to design things for the music industry.

Then suddenly I didn't want to do that at all, and wanted to do something like web design... But then again, I still would very much love to do something with science.

So, YES, I do feel the same way!

It's so hard, because sometimes I feel like I could never do any of those things. I feel like I'll be stuck working at some half-ass job that I hate waking up for.

And it's even harder during High School, because everyone's trying to get you ready for college, and you have to pick out classes to advance your career... There's just so much pressure for me to get a "respectable" job that my parents will support.

Ughh, I just wish I could do what I really wanted, and just take life one day at a time, instead of all this "planning for the future" crap.

The end has no end!

[michellerrific]

I never really had ideas that were very impacting. I still want to be a magazine editor or a lawyer. Those aren't really occupations that will give me any name but that's my life choice, for now. Walt Disney once said, 'if you can dream it, you can do it'. Sounds kinda out there but i hope you know what i mean.

[illriginal]

You know what, now that I think about it... I never wanted to be a star of any sort. I really never cares for fame and glamor.

[*stephinika*]

Yeh, lets just say my career aspirations changed as I got older...when I was younger I dreamt of being an author, or a singer, or actress or dancer or something...then reality hit me in the face. I still wish though...

[*mzkandi*]

I've wanted to be SO many things when I was younger. I know exactly where you're coming from. As it you getting older, at least for me, it's confusing and frustrating trying to figure out what you want to do with your life when you have so many dreams. It was only after some serious self evaluation that I begin to disipher what my truest passions were, my life goals and such.

[uninspiredfae]

Not everyone can be great to other people. We can be great for our own purposes though. Being happy with what you are, what you have is greatness in itself. Not everyone can achieve that. You have actors, models, rap artists... etc, who may not be happy with what they are.

If being a band member makes you happy and proud of yourself, be a band member. Then if you become unhappy, move on to what makes you happy. Life's too short to be confused about life or unhappy with yourself. Do what you want to do and be happy. If you don't know what to do, just do something and it'll lead you to what you want to do eventually.

Dance like no one's watching... and all.

Ten years ago I wanted to doctor, lawyer... etc. Now, I just want to be happy. I rather like the idea of being a wife, a mother... rearing responsible, disciplined children. Doesn't sound too bad at all.

[Relentless]

I remember I wanted to be like a really good chef and an actor which sounds fun. But as I grew older, I doubt that will ever happen. =/ But as for now, I do want to do something with the filming industry. (x

[deplorable]

when i was younger i wanted to be a ballerina
____________

i realize how stupid and unattainable that is now. my dream currently is to be freelance illustrator. but i know how unrealistic it is. so i think ill go into early childhood education... at least ill have a chance to be creative-ish in that field...

[pandamonium]

yes, i feel like i want to do more than what reality requests.

[Simba]

Eh, all this talk about "now I realize how stupid it was to think I could do that" or "now I'm older and know how unattainable this is."

Man, forget that, I'm one of those people who think, who am I not to be able to be/do etcetera and etcetera.

[transcendentalis...]

i probably have a billion aspirations, and i'm thinking about how it's all so impractical sometimes.

in the end, i just wanna do what makes me happy, or if i can't do that, i just want to help other people. which really isn't all that hard or impractical. i don't find it difficult to say that i do what i want to.

I love your attitude.

[CrotchetTheLeper]

I think that no matter what I end up doing, I should be happy doing it.
And if I'm not, then I've gotta find something else to do.

Because I know too many people these days who throw their life away for a job that they hate, and everyday they wish that they had followed their dreams and stuck with that one job that made them happy; the one job that had a meaning to them.

If I ever get stuck in a situation where that horrible job is the only one that can feed my family... Well, that's another story.

I'll do what I have to.
