Not the same dream - LJ Idol, Season 9, Week 8

[adpaz]

When I was 10, I wanted to be a teacher.  My plan was to go to college, get my degree, get married, have two kids - a boy and a girl - and have fun with them every summer when I wasn't having to teach. Details didn't matter, because it was my future. It was going to be perfect

I like this piece and your optomism.

A thoughtful examination of these decade markers! It's good to hear that you are happy with your "now" life!

I really loved this. I have been thinking a lot lately about the passage of time and how things change and how I want to embrace that as much as I can. This piece really resonated with me as a result.

Very insightful. I think about this and my adoption story a lot. AW

It is always fascinating to look back on what you were sure you wanted years ago and realize that where you are might appall your younger self, but you still wouldn't trade it for anything.

I really like the joy in this.
