What were you like as a child? Did life turn out different than you thought it would?
Did your life turn out different from what you imagined as a kid?

I was a bratty child.. I feel bad for my parents putting up with me. No life did not turn out the way I thought it would... it turned out different.. the workload, the responsibilities,the stress, I looked toward a job and thats it - getting the job I wanted.. ,but life turns out completley different.. far from what I have expected.

Of course, I'm sure everyone's does. Here's how much things have changed for me:
As a kid, I was a huge nerd/dork, loved reading and loved the performing arts (dancing, singing, acting). Really thought I'd be an actress or something- just wanted to get through school then get famous.
As I got into middle school I was sorta emo, then in high school really screwed up. Partied way too much, had a really toxic relationship, and thanks to a few addictions, ended up almost not graduating from high school. In high school I'd thought I'd live with the guy I was with and not go to college or anything.
I met a different guy that turned things around for me, overcame my issues, started community college, and thought I'd get a degree then go to school to become a court reporter. Was more than sure I would end up with him. A really bad breakup changed everything again.
Now I'm still in college, working really hard at a retail job, and nobody who's met me in the last year or so can believe how I used to be. Saving up for beauty school right now but who knows where the future will take me. If I went back and told the kid I was what was gonna happen there's no way she'd ever believe me haha.

Well, I'm still a kid kind of, but so far it's pretty different.
I thought I'd have short blonde hair in a ponytail and a letter jacket and be super thin with big boobs and on the cheer squad and popular. I thought surely to God I'd have had my first kiss already. None of that's happened. I thought I'd be working and independent and everything would be cool and easy.
It's not.
As a child I was painfully, painfully, PAINFULLY shy and had an enormous fear of men. I'd get snotty and mean when threatened, but I was always sad and scared. I'm still like that, but it's been toned down a lot since I've gotten friends and matured a bit. I'm happier now.
So yea. Life is turning out WAY differently than I thought it was going to. It isn't necessarily bad though. There's rarely a boring day. :)

yeah. I wanted to be a soldier. I became a soldier. realized the real world sucks, so I left the army after 6 years and decided to go to college.
I imagined I would be a Scout Section Leader by now. instead, I'm six years behind the people with whom I graduated high school.
Things are very different once the real world gets involved. but I'm still glad everything turned out the way it did. Do what you want, and never stop dreaming.
