i was reading my friend misty’s entry today — and can soooo relate on so many levels. i think sometimes, for whatever reason, god knows my reasons have run the gamete — we face that inner dialogue of “what do i want to be when i grow up“. it’s a tough one. and for me, well, i can start to look at what everyone else is doing with their lives and then start to really wonder about what the heck i am doing. in talking with my good friends, i take comfort in knowing i am not crazy or alone in feeling that way (but it doesn’t make it any easier while in the moment, i must say). when i ask myself that question right now — even though i totally love what i am doing at the moment — my honest answer would always be something else. funny how that works.

I think we all question, and wonder what we really want to be doing. See you soon.

Misty’s post is like a poem. It’s a little bit sad but all those wishes carry a lot of hope, at least as I read it.
And ‘being something’ just never seems easy. Especially not if you’re something most people aren’t.
