Back in the day when I was just a little bean and everything was possible to me I wanted to be a witch (like in harry potter) but like musical witch?
Like I would have a magical band and I could do concerts at hogwarts and in my spare time I could kick ass defeating dark wizards.
As I grew up I started to wonder what the real life eqivalent of that would be and this is what I came up with
1)Musical Actress
2)Espionage Special Agent
Now,you may think that these careers are in opposite ends of the spectrum and I could never do both but you are wrong.Why? Because dear reader it has already been done.
The beloved musician Frank Sinatra served as a double agent using his career as a musician as a cover up.
I don't know about you but thats an exciting life to me,its kind of what I'm striving for.
I realise that to make your dreams come true it takes hard work,alot of it.
Thats why I try my hardest at everything apart from school because where I want to go,school isnt going to help me.
Can you hear that? Thats the sound of my whole family colectively sighing.
So my dreams are a little out there and maybe too ambitious for a very clumsy hearing impaired obnoxious teenager but hey, stranger things have happened.
What keeps me going is mostly my own self interest but also the thought that I could one day be a role model for abothef child in the future who feels like their not good enough like i once did and still do somtimes.
Where I come from people believe in stability more then wonder.
I have been told so many times that I'll never make it but the thing is nobody has a view into the future.
You just never know what's going to happen.
I love actimg becauuse I get to being a story to life in a way thats tangible and real.When I get to play a character I get to forget about my plane of existance and transport myself to their world and make an audience believe that they are there with the character going on an adventure where anything could happen.
I love music because of its ability to convey such powerful emotions and paired with acting it gives a film or play a full immersion effect.
Now,Espionage is a little harder to explain.I guess it comes from the part of me that wants to do good in the world and stop corruption and wrongdoings..if thats even possible
It also gives the darker side of me somthing to chew on.The part of me thats so angry with the world.
I love martial arts and fighting even though I'm not really a violent person.
I guess knowing I have the ability to change the world and defend what important to me is one of my dreams because well,I care an awful lot about the world and who's in power so that they are kept in check and don't do bad things.
Besides,I look really good in black.

For the dreamers who do:
As a child I wanted to be a Princess, but not one like Cinderella or sleeping beauty. But the ones like Merida and Mulan, who fought for themselves, who did what wasn't deemed, 'proper' for a young lady. I wanted to ride bareback on horses, soar into the sky with birds, swim with mermaids. I still want to do all of that.
But now my dreams have evolved into goals of what I want to and inevitably will achieve in life. I have set my career goals on being a teacher. An art teacher to be specific, because I am tired of hearing people say, I can't do art, I can't draw, I can't paint, I can't- and on and on they go.
I have learned, very quickly, that being an artist doesn't mean you can do an accurate re-creation of the Mona Lisa. It means you see the beauty in everything the world has to offer, and while you may not be able to draw, you can doodle, you can decorate your room, you can see that that blue dress looks better with those blue shoes than those green shoes.
And so I want to inspire people, to be creative, to be arty, to stop thinking everything is confined to its own little box, and too see the beauty in everything, look beyond what it is and see what it could be.
However, I also want to write, and if a magic genie came to me and said I could do one or the other and be equally successful, I would choose writing, it would take me less than a heartbeat to say it. I want to write and to publish my stories, and see other people fall in love with them the way I have fallen in love with so many worlds. I don't doubt either that I will send my books off to be published either, because I am the single most stubborn person I know, and when I want something done, when I want something so badly my heart screams, I will do it. And now I may be talking less about wanting to publish books and more about something that will undoubtedly have Teddy confused -cause no one knows exactly what thing is-when she goes to put this up, but, *shrugs shoulders* I'm in a weird mood today, and I don't feel like explaining it too much.
As for my other dreams in life, beside my future job. Well, there not so much dreams as goals, because dreaming only gets you so far. I want to be happy, find love, have fifty cats the usual stuff.  To be honest, I don't know, I don't know what the future holds, and I don't know what all my dreams are. But I'm working on them, because who knows, maybe one morning I'm going to wake up and maybe this will be all a dream. And if it is, I want to have made the most of it.
Isabella out.
