"I want to be an actress! Wait no, I wanna be a pop star! Yes that's perfect! And I can be a vet on the weekends and teacher at night! Wait but then no one would come to my class because it's too late! Maybe I could be a pop star at night and a teacher at day! But then, I really, really want to be a ballerina!" I listened to myself as I droned on about what I wanted to be on my 7th birthday. I shook my head at myself, that was 9 years ago! You can't still be finding out what you want to do as an adult, you practically are one already! There was no point in debating with myself so I rolled onto my back and kicked up my feet in disgust. I breathed in suddenly, and let it go slowly. Perhaps I could teach younger people yoga, but I'm not a professional, so what's the point? All I've demonstrated is that I can breathe! I sat up crossed legged, and hung my head, I can't disappoint my parents, come on luce, think!
Forget it, I'm a waste of space, I haven't done anything for others, I haven't earned anything, I've been living off my parents for my whole life! I just don't understand why they still love me, and are willing to take one step at a time with me while my older brother and sister have both graduated and have a family of their own now. I owe it to them to at least pay for the things I need. I want to help them, that's all I've ever wanted, but instead all I do is put my feet up and dream about things. And those people who say "dreams come true" is obviously speaking for 99% of the population because for me, they don't. I slammed my head onto my palm and sighed I didn't even get the percentage close did I?
I'm hopeless at succeeding in life, it's only a matter of time before someone else notices it too.
