I wanted to be a computer game programmer, had my heart on DigiPen for a college. Then I discovered I couldn't code for s**t, but I could find mistakes others made in the in their code. That was when I was a young teenager.

Now days, I do tech support.

I wanted to be a cartoonist, and everyone and their grandmother knew it. I have had an intense love and natural ability to draw cartoons for as long as I can remember.

Too bad that when you're a little kid you don't know how much the world will change by the time you're an adult. And that you'll be lucky there's even a world left.

I wanted to be a volcano. Sure I knew the practicalities, but I still wanted it.

I wanted to be nothing but a......kid.

Seriously, I don't ever recall wanting to aspire to any grown up profession, vocation or avocation. My interior world, imagination, exploration and my time outside in the woods and immersed in nature were all perfection. Running, jumping, pretending, talking to the animals, the trees and the wind. I couldn't imagine wanting anything to change.

^ Much like you I don't recall aspiring to be anything in particular when I was young. Once I got a bit older I liked the idea of being an astronaut, jet fighter pilot, and race car/motorcycle driver. Never had the motivation or self confidence to strive for those sorts of goals.

I wanted to be a video game developer and make survival horror games like the ones I grew up playing such as Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Fatal Frame.

My dream will never come true. At this point in my life I would consider it a dream come true just to be able to live on my own, have control of my own money, and drive anywhere I want to go without somebody else having to drive me.
