Your dreams...
Permalink Closed

What are they? You have your career( and it may be, for a few of you, a job that encompasses everthing for you). You fullfill your roles- and they are important : mother, daughter, friend. But, these roles aside: what do you dream about for yourself? Do you have a passion for something, anything- that you wish you could drop everything for to do? Or, think someday when the kids are gone, I have made enough money, or I become confident enough...


For me, ever since I was young, I have kept journals, written poetry, short stories, and whatnot. When I was little, corny as it may sound, I would leave poems around the house for my father- because he was my first true love. As a teenager, it was a release from the buildup of, you know, teenage angst- and the pain of an alcoholic father and unpredictable, bi-polar mother. I have also been told by teachers, college instructors, family- it is a shame Amy, you are not doing something with this- there is real potential there. Maybe, maybe not. But, it always has been something Ive enjoyed.


Think on this... or maybe, it is obvious to you.

That's such a nice poll...


My dream: to go back to EU, hopefully in France, and have my own lab in a university. And teach in addition to doing research. In the best of the worlds, my research would make a difference for people, like be useful for finding some new drugs etc. On the other hand, I am schizofrenic I guess, so I love to write and I'd love to get published some day, so I keep writing short stories that one day I'll have the guts to send somewhere. My mom loves them, but she's biased...


As for family: that's really weird I guess: I picture myself with children (one or two), but no man! I don't really get that. And no, I don't envision a girlfriend either! I am a mom but not a wife?


Hey, lilyann: may be in your free time you want to go to writing classes, or even just literature classes or something like that, read others' works as much as possible and write down whatever comes to your mind. I am convinced if that's your true call, one day your talent will get noticed

Thank you, Ico...your own research lab! How wonderful and fullfilling that would be. I hope this dream finds you.

Hmm. I love yours, lilyann.

I want to get a Ph.D. and then I want to make a difference. I feel like both journalists and politicians don't understand a lot of things. Or choose to misrepresent them. I want to have or TV show or a newspaper column or be a political advisor and just explain stuff within my area of expertise to people. I also realize this is incredibly naive.

In my personal life I want to marry young. I've totally changed my mind about this recently. I have no interest in dating. I don't find it fun, I'm way too awkward. I don't like randomly hooking up because I inevitably feel horrible about it afterward. So I'd love to meet "the one" young and just be able to live as much as my life as possible. I think I used to think that once I got married I couldn't do all the other things I wanted to do, but I've realized that's not true. I don't want kids though.

I would also love to live outside the US for an extended period of time.

I would love to be a published author. I've always liked writing, but I don't think I have what it takes. And I feel like everyone thinks they're a writer.

My problem is that I don't really know. Iwant to do something that makes me happy and that I can excel at. I think this will probably be in some field where I feel like I am making an impact on peoples lives.  Not sure what I want that to be though, or how direct of a connection there needs to be in order for me to feel fulfilled.


I want to have kids. I want to travel, maybe move someplace new and exciting. And I'd like to buy a house. With a yeard so that I can have a dog. And a boat.

my dream is to join the peace corps and never look back. my dream really does have to do with work/career because it's simply so fulfilling to me. i dream of doing international work in family planning and maternal/child health care. i dream of living in cambodia or laos and working on building up thier healthcare systems.


however...i also dream of doing these things in the united states...but if im gonna be seriously dreaming, it's all international work.

My dream is to live on a sailboat.  My husband is totally obsessed with sailing and whenever I am on the boat with him I feel like all is right in the world (which is a feeling I never ever have).


I want simplicity, to be away from materialism and the rat race...
