#WorkWednesday -- Childhood career wish

Oh dear. Haven't I already bored you all several times with this one?

yes, you have but it's okay keep going

I always wanted to be a wife and a mother. From the time I could want such a thing, I assumed that wish. I was blessed with a mother and father who could show me what true family was like, and it was the most natural thing in the world to desire it myself.

As for writing, at first I longed to be an author just to show the world what I could do. Well, I won't say that's all gone -- I may still tend towards pride -- but it's not the whole either, not the half even. I want to write now because my brain is a bursting flower, shooting forth new petals every day, and I can't keep it all to myself. I want to give it to the world. I want others to know the things that I have known.

I didn't remember wanting to be an author in order to show the world so that's kind of interesting

While my career aspirations have broadened and that's okay, they still include these three which is also okay. That said, none of my aspirations are as set in stone as they used to be either. I'm 100% content to remain single for... indefinite if need be. I won't be able to pursue all my shiny avenues. I can't imagine saying goodbye to writing, but there are other callings in the world that could use my qualities if I did.

We've heard it once in this chapter, I think once is enough

I did go through a phase of wanting to be a pioneer if that counts
