When I grow up...

[ant_forster]

...I'm going to be a conservationist, seamstress, AND a circus performer. I'm not going to live in a boring old house with a boring old job- I'm going to go on adventures, constantly change my life, and never fall into a routine life. I have to- because mediocrity is the worst thing ever. It's my biggest fear, more than dying itself. As silly as it

Haha, I used to think being 35 was the end of spontaneity too. Now I've met enough fantastic, exciting people of that age (including my beautiful aerial silks teacher, Rada) that I know better! I don't think growing old is to do with age, I consider 'growing up' as 'growing boring'. So my aim is to never do that, basically!

"It's not so much the individual elements which are worth fighting against but instead the idea of almost falling into a coma and letting life pass you by."
I agree with you so much. Words of real wisdom right there. A mortgage itself isn't an end to spontaneity, and neither is a partner (in fact, sharing experiences makes them even better, I find). A job, I'm less certain of- but I suppose it depends what you do! :)

I definitely intend on following my passions and learning until the day I die. I've never realised how fun it is to learn things until recently- I'm taking two different classes on what has always been my weakest area (dance!) and I feel a million times better about myself for it. In the summer, I'm going to take cooking classes with my boyfriend! xD

It's interesting to see how many different responses I'm getting from this- one total disagreement, one considering other points of view, and one agreement.
