Throughout said life, and incrementally "ruined" by said life, I wanted to...:
- Be a train. (realized that I was 3)
- Be a breakdancer. (realized that bodies age)
- Be a DJ. (realized I liked employ-ability and stability)
- Be a classicist/anthropologist (realized once again that I liked employ-ability, and wasn't excited about becoming a Vatican priest)
- Be retired so I can go back to A. (still working on it.)
You may have wanted to focus on specific occurrences, but all my biggest/most unfulfilled "regrets" are by nature more long term, and don't have "easy fixes" as e.g. my dream of doing a cross country road trip, or starting a massive fruit garden (I've partially realized both those goals)
- cjak 9y agoYour life journey reminds me of the parable of the Mexican fisherman: https://bemorewithless.com/the-story-of-the-mexican-fisherman/ https://bemorewithless.com/the-story-of-the-mexican-fisherma... Enjoy your retirement!
- pacala 9y agoFun parable. Glossing over details. Like getting a tooth implant here and there, repairing your house after a storm, or buying food in a bad season.
- jaredsohn 9y agoBeing three shouldn't have prevented you from being a train. There are plenty of trains older than that (some googling suggests the oldest 'living' train may be 161 years old right now, although admittedly it spends most of its time in a museum right now.) There is still hope :)
