Childhood dreams - a prompt.

I understand that many of you guys would want to jump in on this, however, if you don't want to that's completely okay. I'm only doing this because it's fun. Before I start I'd like to appreciate my sponsors. I will be acknowledging you guys in all of my posts. (Not forgetting my readers, and commenters too). Shall we, then? When I was little I thought dreams were meant to come to pass - to be fulfilled, if you will. Don't get me wrong I still do. But, then it was channeled towards getting to be something at all costs disregarding the other - education. I wanted so bad to be a soccer player, a professional soccer player. I said this in my introductory post a couple of weeks ago. But, there's no harm in repeating it, right? In a way, it wasn't a particularly harmful goal. I was going to try to find a balance between the two. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be. Now that I think back on it, I kind of feel disappointed at myself for not giving my hundred percent doing what I loved. I'd often play street football with my friends even when Dad never liked me to. He always wanted me to be something else outside just playing soccer. Perhaps, he was worried I'd cause myself harm if I did. (Like get a broken leg, for example...) Lol Here's something I picked as I grew older. It's not all of our dreams as a child that will be actualised. We'd find that as time passed we somehow drifted to a completely different path from the ones we laid out as a kid or rather we find a different passion - something we come to love, that wasn't even in our list of to-dos many years ago. Life acts funny that way, don't you think? It's completely normal. As for the other things that I wanted to become over time, Modelling was one of them. I even volunteered for a fashion contest at school once. I cannot remember what exactly happened, but I guess I bottled my winning prospects. It wasn't a fond memory. Perhaps, I lost because my looks weren't as attractive then, as it is now. (Oh and yeah, I am an attractive guy). Even if Modelling isn't wholly about looks, and attractiveness. Although, I was like say..., Six or seven back then. I obviously thought like a child. Laughs! When I turned twelve I decided to be an Architect. There's a whole story on this matter because I wasn't the one who noticed I had an aptitude for it. Turned out I had a knack for technical drawings and the whatnots. But, Alas! It was all short-lived when I opted for a different course at the University. Well, there you have it guys. That much sums up all of my childhood dreams. I was embarrassed when I talked about my Modelling aspirations, though. How silly of me! Lol Greetings! Hi. Happy Easter Sunday, everyone. It's pretty late, I know. I apologise. I slept like a child after attending service at church. Aterwards I went to see a football match between my beloved Chelsea, and we won. Smiles. I want to use this opportunity to thank @FarmGirl for wishing me a quick recovery. I'm sorry I couldn't reply your messages earlier. Also, @Ellawrites , thank you too. For all that you've done really. I'm getting all teary here. Lol. I think you're actually growing on me. And the rest of you guys, I'm grateful. The fever's gone, and I am feeling great. It's an Easter Sunday Miracle, it would seem. :-() Anyway, if you enjoyed the post why don't you make your own - CHILDHOOD DREAMS. I think you should. @Deeepensiverse started the prompt, (I guess). Do not forget to tag her to it. Also, I'd like to read too. I'd appreciate if you tagged me. Thank you guys for sticking with me. Until we read again. 💐✌️
