Looking after yourself and others is critically important, now perhaps more than ever. And part of my process is letting my mind wander to lives that I might have led, and what might yet come...
Super hero was my standard career aspiration until I was 35 y.o. and it took years to get over this. Happy now to just be conscious, present and find ways I can serve humanity… even if the ability to catch bullets between my teeth and fly suddenly develops. Always been a slow developer…
When I was ten I was interested in a portfolio career: Professor of Music/part time mermaid/Paleontologist. My family spent a lot of time at concerts at Monash University so a music career looked like fun. This did lead to studying performance music (voice and piano) and endless practising. Still practising today...
Not sure there are vocational courses/micro credentials for mer-people.
I did like playing with a microscope, mostly to gross out my brother and/or talk about the wonders of dinosaurs. Now I am allegedly 'grown up' I still feel a lot like a ten year old, but with debt. I'd still like to undertake a PhD in Creative Writing but haven't discovered an endless river of gold to fully fund it.
As a child, I just loved being creative; either art or living in my imagination, constantly daydreaming. As a teenager, I got very angry about the state of the world and just wanted to try to make it a little better. I spent my twenties experimenting with all of it and getting fed up a lot. Now, at 32, I find I'm doing a combination of exactly what motivated me as a child and teenager. I write, I'm an artist, and I use both of those skills to work with people to show them their strength and light. The signs were all there :)
