#7: What is your dream job, and why?
I have a love-hate relationship with this question. I love it because I'm a dreamer, and I love talking about my hopes and dreams. But I hate it because it also implies the ever-so-annoying "What do you want to be when you grow up?" question. I also hate this question because I never know what to tell the person who asks this. What dream job are you asking for? The attainable one or the wildly unattainable one? You expect an answer to the question you had in mind, but sometimes the person answers the other one instead. It's like asking a kid what he wants to be when he grows up, expecting an answer like a firefighter or a cop, but then the kid pipes up and says, "I wanna be Frodo Baggins". Now you're stuck looking dumb-founded, not knowing what to say.
So after annoying you and boring you with that splurge of thoughts from my brain, I've come to a conclusion. I will share both with you (although right now both seem to be equally in the unattainable and attainable section).
The Attainable One: I think it would be really cool to be a nutritionist. That's what I'm planning to go to university for. I absolutely love biology and the human body and stuff like that, but I also really love food. I also think that it would be mighty cool to be able to help people with something so simple, yet something that many people have issues with. More specifically, I think it would be really cool to work with people who struggle with eating disorders.
The Unattainable One: An author. I really love writing. Although quite attainable, this dream seems unattainable to me because I don't like it when people read something I wrote. For those who knew me in high school, I know, I did share lots of poetry and song lyrics and stuff that I wrote (in fact a lot of it is still up on Facebook), but let's be honest... a lot of that stuff sounds like something straight out of Taylor Swift's playbook. Guy broke my heart, blah blah blah, don't know where I belong in this world, blah blah blah, he's a jerk, blah blah blah. (I joke, but I actually kinda like her music, haha.) The other reason why this seems unattainable is because I have a problem with not finishing what I start. I have so many novel ideas in my head, so many chapter ones, and so many unfinished story outlines that I can't even count them. And nowadays my writing is more for me than anyone else. It's a healing thing. But I still think it would be really cool to share some of my stories in my head with the rest of the world.
So there you have it. Are you confused yet?
Stay tuned for the next thing: What are 5 passions you have?
I already know what I'm going to write about... the 5 is kinda gonna turn into 1. So be warned, read at your own risk. I'm going to be sharing the thing that I'm probably the most passionate about. (And surprisingly, it's probably not what some of you would expect.)
