It is the 52nd edition of the ladies of hive community contest and members of the community are asked to participate by answering one of two questions and I chose to answer the question “Are you who you want to be and did you dream of being something else?”
I spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out an answer to this question and no matter what I put down, it didn’t seem like a good enough answer, and here’s why.
I wouldn’t say I am who I want to be because I spent a lot of time while growing up imagining where I would be at 23 and right now I am not where I saw myself if I was being truthful.
I always thought that after graduating from university with a good grade it would mean a good job and some level of comfortability and even until two years ago, I was always very optimistic about certain aspects of life, and right now I wouldn’t say I am pessimistic but I am more of a realist.
I am currently working a job that I would say a million times that I hate and my life isn’t what I would consider comfortable at any level so clearly, I am not where or who I want to be right now.
I also dreamt of being married at around this age because I wanted to have my children young and be able to experience marriage and motherhood early but right now I don’t even see marriage in my plans because of how much my mentality has changed towards life in general.
I still do believe that I might not be who I want to be right now but I am who I need to be and eventually my dreams and goals would come true even though it might be taking some time.
Thank you for opening this box of passion
