What do you want to be when you grow up?


A question asked a hundred times

And yet, every time I find a way to answer the same question differently

One idea that seemed to be perfect one day

Appeared to be very different the next

 

Many things can sway my ever changing answer

A movie recently watched

A book recently read

Or a person recently met

 

Usually this question is associated with a job

A career

An occupation

 

However, that is not implied

 

I have no idea what job I want to have

I do not know if I want to work in a fast food restaurant

I do not know if I want to be a doctor

However,

I know what I want to be

Happy
