Dreams from Childhood!

Date: 17th December 2021

Hello everyone! How is everyone doing today? I hope you are having a fantastic week and staying hydrated. Eight days remain until we reach Christmas and Fourteen till we enter 2022; The countdown is here again.

I am sure we all had so many dreams and aspirations when we were little; back then, the world seemed like a dream, and we believed we could do anything.

As we grew older, we started realizing that we couldn't do everything, and the world isn't a fairytale; as time passed, our dreams began decreasing and decreasing until we settled for only one.

Even though we may not have those dreams anymore, it would still be nice to reminisce upon them because we can.

For today's article, I will be listing some of my childhood aspirations and career prospects; I hope you enjoy it.

Soldier or Policeman

Ever since I was little, I had always wanted to become a soldier because I felt like there was no better mission than dying for others and being such a young lad, I didn't know that death was "final."

At that age, death meant nothing, and I genuinely thought I would be guaranteed heaven if I died for others, but that is not true.

I was fascinated by the military movies that I had watched then, mainly because I was a massive fan of John Cena, and I thought that being a soldier would make me cool as him😁.

Sometimes it is better to watch the actual footage than watching movies because movies may lie to you, but the original footage shows you the truth, especially when it comes to things of "War."

I remember watching documentaries of WWI & WWII, and that was when my whole world shattered, and I started shifting away from being a soldier. 

Those documentaries were genuinely horrific and showed me the brutality of war, which I didn't want to partake in.

I also watched other documentaries, especially the infamous "Pablo Escobar," and seeing what he did to the armed forces made me wonder how my life would be if I chose to become part of them.

Eventually, I gave up the dream of becoming a soldier, but I can still help others in other ways, I guess. 

Musician/Dancer

I am sure most of us also had this dream when we were little; becoming a musician is something I think every child would like to be, especially back in the 2000s when music was booming like crazy.

I had already joined the church choir, and it was so fun singing with everyone; I even thought of joining a dance group to become the complete package, but I later got an injury where a nail passed through my leg, which somewhat affected that dream.

I was in the hospital for some time. I got depressed and eventually had to give up the dream, and my parents discouraged me from pursuing it because they didn't like me becoming a musician.

So that marked the end of the musician dream, but I guess maybe one day I can still dawn the stage and perform😁

No one knows the future, so for now, I would be practising notes and dance steps just in case.

Astronaut/Scientist

Who won't want to explore space and discover new things? To a kid, being an astronaut is the most fantastic job in the world; you can leave Earth and go to space; what is more remarkable than that.

The thought of leaving Earth alone made me happy because I feel like this planet is too restricted, and exploring space is something I would want to do no matter how old I am.

I heard about the SpaceX mission to make Mars our next home, which made me so excited because I imagine how incredible that would be for humanity.

You always see this kind of stuff in movies, but now they are starting to become real, and we are progressing fast thanks to science.

I have always wanted to become a scientist, but I guess my mind still loved money, and I ended up doing finance, lol.

My dream now is to one day make enough money to enter a spaceship and maybe become one of the first citizens of ''Mars.''😁

Artist

Back when I was little, I was never good at drawing, but I took an interest in it when I started watching "Anime," and I think that was when I was eleven.

I had improved a bit from my previous drawing skills because now I can draw better than when I was little; even if it isn't the best, I am glad I am better.

Hard work and consistency sometimes pay off because they help you get better at what you are doing. I may not pursue the artist's dream, but I am happy I know how to draw now.

I would end the article here for today, but you can also join in by listing your childhood dreams in the comments; I would love to read them.😁
