iNicoler katsumii Satil I'm living the life I expected to. Satil ... but I did that to myself for getting a Master's in something "safe" rather than what I really wanted. Wait - you expected to do something other than what you wanted? I'm confuzzled. I think that that's what she's saying. Some people don't expect to do what they want to do. I want to be an actress, but I don't expect that I'm going to be one professionally.
Anyways, 10 years back, I don't remember too well. But, I have realized at a young age that, when you get older, the world isn't all sunshine and rainbows.
Hmm, okay. I guess that I've always correlated "expectations" directly to "wants." Like, we can't expect everything we want, but we should have at least some (even minuscule or subconsciously) desire as to what we expect.
Similar to what someone posted earlier, as a young child, I never thought about my future life... Ugh, I remember, when I was 6, I thought everybody in high school or older was an adult. I watched many a high school play as a little child, thinking it was a professional acting school with professional actors. Then, I attended that school. It's nothing special. stressed

Wait - you expected to do something other than what you wanted? I'm confuzzled.I had low self esteem and didn't think I was smart enough to pursue medicine. Turns out I am, and am doing so now. A few years late, but better late than never and being stuck in a career I hate. I also didn't expect to hate the career I went with. And I'm living the life I expected in the sense that I am married to someone I love and that loves me back, I am trying for my first child, and I am a happy, healthy adult doing things I always wanted to do as a teen.

Yeah!! That's precisely what I thought my high school years would be back in kindergarten and the like. I'm not quite 16 yet (turning 14 in less then a week) and heh, I've learned and am still learning the way the world really goes. Sometimes it'd be nice if things were as simple as I had imagined them, but then the real world is a lot deeper and rewarding smile I'd rather have this version of my high school years.
