what do you want to become?
what do you wanna do with your future?

,,I wanna be a princess“, said the 6 year old me.
it’s not a real job. you can’t be one. our family is not royal and you need to marry a prince for that. these are the words I‘ve been told by my family and people from kindergarten. it’s right of course, but 6 year old me was sad.

,,I wanna be an astronaut”, said the 12 year old me. you need math and physics for that and you get sick to easily. ,,I can do it. I wanna go to the moon and explore it“ is said. I wanted it so bad. they destroyed it.

,,I wanna be a psychologist“, said the 13,14 and 15 year old me. you can’t. you have to many problems on your own. you could not do it. also you are too bad in school for that. you would cry with them. that’s what my friends told me. it was my biggest dream to help people like I needed it. I could do it. but my friends made me feel like I couldn’t so this dream was gone too.

,,I wanna be a lawyer or a judge“, said the 15 and 16 year old me. but the final tests are very difficult I realised. for this one I was more realistic even tho it would make me happy. I destroyed this wish on my own.

,,I wanna be a police officer“, I said a few weeks ago. you’re too weak for that and you can’t just let your aggression take part of you then my friends said to me. I wouldn’t. I only have them at home. I have everything under control. but they made me think I couldn’t do it.

everyone always told me what I can’t be. what can I be? what do I want to do in the future? who am I? I don’t want to figure this out anymore because I know they would say that I couldn’t do it. so every time someone asks me what I want to do in the future I just say ,,I don’t know. I had plans but not anymore.“ it’s the best answer I guess…
