I thought it would be an interesting idea to talk about the things I really wanted to do when I was younger and whether the same still applies now. What did you want to do, where did you want to go, who did you want to be with when you were younger?
Visit America
Of course I still want to do this but instead of just wanting to visit New York City like I did when I was younger, I’d love to explore all of the states in more detail. I’d love to do a Route 66 roadtrip and I’ve always wanted to visit a Chuck’s Roadhouse – the food looks so delicious. I’d love to head to NYC and visit all the landmarks as well as try some of the much lauded food there and I’d love to visit both Disney parks too. Yep, America is still firmly on my list.
Run A Pub Or Restaurant
Back in the day, I used to want to run my own pub or restaurant – but there were so many things that you had to consider before jumping in feet first. There were different licences needed and plenty of different tools – businesses may need a receipt generator so may buy an osmo pocket to help them if one isn’t provided plus there’s so much more technology to think about – it isn’t just all about cooking and serving food and taking the money – there’s plenty of backstage admin that needs to be done too.
There’s still a part of me that sort of loves the idea but I think it would be quite stressful and everyone that I knew that was in the industry themselves have moved away from it and are doing something else because it is so stressful, tiring and the money just isn’t what it used to be.
Lots of Different Jobs
I wanted to do so many different jobs when I was younger – a freelance writer, an author, a journalist, a teacher, a pop star. I’m now a freelance writer so I can say I definitely still want to do that one and I’d love to finish my book and be called an author!
Something I was really keen on becoming when I was younger was a pet groomer but I eventually went off the idea. I just loved the idea of making pets look spick and span. However you can groom them yourselves at home and plenty of people are choosing to do this – if your pet is very furry, you may want to consider deshedding – the process of removing hair from your pet’s undercoat which may not be effectively removed with you’re the of brushing or combing, as these focus primarily on the top layer of fur.
These are just a few of the things I wanted to do when I was younger – I’d say I probably do still want to do the majority of them a tiny bit, those hopes and dreams from our childlike selves never quite go away, do they?
Do you have any childhood dreams that you have managed to realise as an adult?
