When I was a kid I wanted to be a cop

I thought [it] was a honorable job. My opinion of law enforcement has changed over the years but I still remember how I felt about the idea of wearing the badge. I used to dream and have aspirations. Why did I stop? I got to the point where my biggest aspiration is making it to my next day off alive. I think that at some point we inadvertently decided that this was it. This mundane lifestyle is all we will ever have. We don’t think that anything can change our lives at this point in the game. We stopped caring and wanting to be better. Having dreams is a let down at this point in our lives.

When I was a kid I thought getting my dream job would be easy, and that I could take time off as and when I pleased and see my friends all the time and travel the world whilst progressing at work and being financially comfortable

However, I’m learning to ignore these pressures from anyone outside of me, myself, and I because well it is my life. If I do want to travel, I will. If I want to give a stronger stab at freelance writing rather than taking a fulltime higher paid job that I wont enjoy, I will.

I am learning to live day by day, picking up the pieces and taking baby steps to create the life that I want for my kids and myself

It wasn’t until both the devastation and anger passed that I finally began to self-reflect on myself. This caused me to really look at the person I was, who I wanted to become and the life I truly wanted to have. So, my marriage was over. That totally sucked but that doesn’t define me as a person. Yes, I was a stay at home mom and housewife. I loved being able to be so involved with my kids this way, but I knew I could find a way to still be involved while supporting our new life as well. I had never really been alone, and that terrified me. Was this my dream?

As I reflect on my time as a student I wonder if instead of working towards my goals, I was really just working on an image I wanted people to see of me

I’m going to use this space as a way to figure out who I am, who I want to be, and where I want to go. Some of my posts may be about fitness, some about work, maybe even some about relationships. The goal however, as I’m a goal oriented person, is to understand my self a little better in order to become the person I aspire to be.
