16. My Dream Story so far

No triggers. 

Like Carrie says in her book, dreams can change, and develop over time. At thirteen, my main dream was to have friends again, which, happily, I have achieved. As a little girl I wanted to be a writer (a novelist), but as I grew older and didn't read much anymore, that dream began hiding at the back of my head. At 14, 15 I really wanted to be a singer. My plan was to go to a German Talent Show once I turned 16. Why that didn't happen, you can read in one of my other blog posts. It's probably good that I didn't. I wouldn't have fitted in at all. But I still had the dream of becoming a singer. I began writing little 2 minute songs with my guitar at 15, which turned into 6 minute songs at 16. At the moment, I actually mostly write songs which are 3-4 minutes long, yay me :D But I also started wanting to be a lawyer at age 14 (or even 13?), because I was watching WAY too many german court shows after school. The topic really did interest me, the amateur acting could be hilarious, and I might have had a slight crush on some of the lawyers. But that dream slowly faded, and I no longer saw it as a dream, but as a possible option, when I turned 18 and actually had to choose what to study. My main dream was still to become a singer, and be in a musical (which I had developed a love for when my class went to see 'On the Town' when I was 14 or 15. I absolutely fell in love with this musical but also with the entire musical world! I sure wasn't expecting that from a school trip!). But my parents were very clear that music was a hobby, not a profession for me. I still could have persued it, but the truth is, I needed to find my own way, anyway. I didn't want to be like the other singers. I didn't want to be made into something I'm not. Soo I will somehow still try to become a singer, on my own terms. Mainly, I just want to sing. The dream of becoming an author reappeared some years ago when I started writing again and actually completed writing my first little book! This was still when I thought that the hardest part was finishing a book, rather than getting someone to publish it!
Right now I have three career dreams: Become a singer, become a writer and help people. I want to finish my law degree and get a psychology degree as well in order to gain access to jobs in which I can help people overcome really difficult situations. Soo actually I'm persuing four careers at the moment. This is my dream story. What's yours?
