When I Grow Up...

Hi all :)

Thought I'd start a game, just for fun. You can answer any way you please.

You can be as serious, or imaginative as you want. It can be about what you wanted to be career-wise (fireman, doctor, astronaut), lifestyle-wise (rich and famous, roughing it in the wilds), location-wise (France, Spain, Antarctica), whatever. It can be small and simple, or big and flashy. It can be something you wanted as a child, something you want now, or something you want later. It can even be something you fantasise about (like being a super hero).

Feel free to answer as many times as you want too.

Have Fun!

I'll start with one :)

When I grow up, I want to sail the seven seas, and explore new undiscovered worlds.

When I grow up I am going to use all of my skills to help others. I'm going to travel the world and see everything I can and help everyone I can.

Also, I will always eat desserts first at buffet (I already do that haha)
 
Despite my best efforts and years of hard work, 'growing up' has eluded me :(

I tried everything. Marriage, kids, grandkids, work and more work, counselling, hypnotism and even threats have left me bereft of any chance of being a grown up.

Alas, I have succumbed to defeat and now recognise that 'growing up', like 'happy ever after', is just a fantasy.
