What did you think you would do with your life, back when you were a kid?
Where did you think you would end up? Here? I bet you didn't.
What about all of those fantastical places you were going to
visit, all those incredible adventures you were going to take
part in?
Whatever happened to all of those wonderful dreams you dreamed?
If you were very lucky you did get to see a bit of the world,
and you may even have had a tiny adventure. So, how did it end
up like this?
How did that bright eyed kid turn in to you?
You know which 'you' I am talking about, the one who mumbles
"Yeah, Right" at least three times through every
newscast, the one who asks "What's the catch?" after
labouriously inspecting the offered bargain.
Yes, that you.
Deep down you know what happened.
Life happened. You got
slammed by life, it's no big deal, it happens to most of us.
Of course, some of us get slammed harder than others. It's hard
to pin down exactly why this is. Some will tell you it's just
that others work harder at school, or at their job. Some will
say that a certain few are naturally brighter than most.
Personally, I think it's a lottery.
At the end of the dream all that awaits is a very bumpy ride,
and once you get on it there's no getting off. Make the most of
it, because when the journey ends no-one remembers who was traveling.
