>What was your childhood dream?
To be happy
>why didn't you pursue it?
I tried.

Story of my life

Its maybe not too late ?

becoming an archaeologist, i'm pursuing it actually

Its like being indiana jones ?

i'm still becoming one, i'm not one yet

but that would be my wildest dream made true

Space. Maybe I'll get there.

wanted to be a pirate but pirates these days are only a bunch of niggers in rowboats

My childhood dream was join the army, become a real alpha soldier. kid i was a huge fan of war video-games and movie, now im studying law.

I never really had any, so I guess I did.

>being a musician
>revolutioning rock
>being famous
>hating being famous
>fucking myself up with drugs
>dying at 27

you can be a real alpha lawyer now

I wanted to become spiderman.

If I planted tarantula hair into my hair follicles, I'd get their powers, so I could climb walls and shit.
Then I'd make my own web blasters, just like peter parker.

Maybe with future science, and with a small loan of a million dollars, I could still pursue it.

Be an astronaut, I discovered alcohol. Fuck I can't stop drinking.

making my parents proud

I always wanted to become a composer for film/tv/video games.

Top musician in high school.

Auditioned for the university's school of music and got laughed at. Didn't make it.

I still compose, but they sit in a folder on my desktop.

>to become a writer
>realised I wasn't much good at it and didn't care to put in the effort to get better

Yeah why not, its my first year in law faculty so will see that in few years i guess..

Wanted to become a doctor to save people, realized people are not worth saving.

that's the spirit

Edgy

Childhood dream was to understand as much about the world as I could.

In mathematics grad school now. Probably going to Los Alamos this coming summer. Dreams can sometimes come true as long as you keep yourself mortally scared that they won't.

Someone can tell me how much gay is this?
haha

Be a director

I am. Living with the mom like a bum at the moment so I can put all money towards a 30 minute short film good enough to gain attention in the festival circuit. I do still photography in the meantime to keep me sane.

>be me
>be 10
>wants to be a gaypornstar
>not be gay
>SadFrogEmote.jpeg

Fuck that university. It's not too late.

A producer in Hollywood doesn't give two shits whether or not you have a degree in music. He cares that the score he's listening to will go well with the visuals. That's it.

Get some of your stuff recorded and get it out there.

much gay.

I wanted to be a vet

I'll be out of education and actually working as one in a few years which is great

This is my current goal. Childhood, Idk. It changed a lot.

To not become what I am now. Couldn't actually pursue it, guess it pursued me. Nowadays is just the same
>wake up
>kys

>Someone can tell me how much gay is this?
Do you even English?

>implying you can't act gay

My childhood dream was to become a cop.

Unfortunately I didn't have the best upbringing and my family moved around so much that I never got a good education.

Now i'm a blue collar worker.

>Wanted to be an evil scientist
>always loved doing science shit at home
>also pyromaniac so used to light stuff on fire and see what burned and didn't burn

>Unfortunately I didn't have the best upbringing and my family moved around so much that I never got a good education

Same shit happened to me
I haven't settled down anywhere, I have all my old toys and stuff packed up becuase I know we're gonna move again soon

Do you English Stevens?

Are you proud of yourself?

>Wanted to be teacher as a kid
>realized as I grew up teachers had to deal with stuck up bratty autist kids and shit pay
>didn't become teacher

most of the most successful gay porn stars aren't gay

>what was your childhood dream
To keep a fine national tradition alive, and become a potter.
>why didn't you pursue it
Because it's much nicer to be a sysadmin.

Who says I didn't achieve it.
>tfw becoming a firefighter is better than sex

Depend what kind of teacher, there a difference between a middle school and a college teacher bruh.

How's the pay as a middle school teacher?

fuck

A middle school teacher in france (im a french fag ye) get smt like 1400 euros month here, a faculty teacher smt like 3 k euros.

To thrive in the wild and build shit

Didn't want to do it alone

So stuck here with society and my conflict of interest like ban private currancy control

>sex with men in uniform is better than sex

Thanks, man!! I think I needed to hear that.

I wanted o become a golf pro, like teach people golf and run the shop but idk if i want to now.. i get tired of everything too quickly. Cant stick to one thing for very long.

Hahahaha just try dude

To work in music and become famous. I'm working on it now. We all have what it takes to make it! The only ones who won't make it are the ones that give up.

I wanted to be a Power Ranger.

it's really stupid, but my childhood dream was to be a drifter and never be tied down. just travel the country, working odd jobs, making just enough to stay fed, meeting people and seeing new places.

i'm not afraid to work. i've done everything from manual labor to office management to food service to industrial sales. i'm not lazy.

i just don't like staying in one place for too long, worrying about what it takes to maintain a house, being stuck in a rut.

but i failed. i got married. i have a house. i have a long-term career. and i hate all of it. in my closet, there's a massive camping pack with everything i need to just walk away from my life forever and start over as a filthy hobo. i think i would rather go for it and fail and die, cold, starving, and alone in a ditch by the side of the road than keep doing what i'm doing now for the next 30 years.

but i'm too afraid to leave.

I wanted a big house, nice car, hot wife, all that crap.
Now all I want is to live alone in the country.

To unabashedly fuck the world up. Think I've done pretty good so far. Changed drastically when I got a life, but still. I may have liked myself, now.

I wanted to be a Fighter Pilot, from the time I knew what one was from watching old war movies with my Dad.

Had to get glasses when I was 8-years-old.

good luck bro, it's nice seeing people who manage to remain positive nowadays

Gravitated towards those who had the potential to change shit, just to upset everyone's comfort levels. Shake things up. Feel like I went wrong somewhere and had to right things.

No regret ?

Time to walk. Do you have kids? That's the big question. If not, get moving. Never too late.

I wanted to be agile like a monkey guess what? I am

i wanted to become a soldier
realized it was bc playing vidya and actually being a soldier is dumb
then i wanted to be a musician
i didn't have the patience to learn even guitar because i went too deep into punk rock, drugs, and booze
then i wanted to kill myself
buddhism and hard work fixed that one
Now i'm learning to become a software developer. I don't want to become anything anymore. Though i don't do the meditation now, it was great for healing the soul and the mind, but i never believed the esoteric mumbo jumbo around it. I just want to work, play vidya, practice on guitar again, work out every other day and get a fuckbuddy. i'm still at least 2 years away from real peace, but i had to learn to appreciate it.

Don't get me wrong, i'd still cheer and applaud at the sight of all the men, women, and children of this world burning to ash. But this is alright too. And i'm not even nearly as edgy as most people you'd meet.

I still dream of flying. I never had the money for a pilot's license so I do desk-top sims and Radio Control models.

I'm old now. 51. My health is not good enough to get a license now unless it's something like a Light Sport Aircraft.

I have several sets of plans for small wooden aircraft, and as a cabinet maker I could easily build one if I had the money.

Maybe I'll win the lottery or something...

i can´t remember what i wanted to do as a kid :/

wtf?

Here's me with one of my smaller models

I wanted to be a through the night DJ ... preferably a talk station.

Wasn't a secure enough idea of a job and a creepy paedo DJ tried to groom me when I was 15 and trying to get experience of the profession.

Thats so sad.

This whole thread is so sad. All these dreams crashed by reality. All our hopes and goals that could not be achieved. And now what? We sit and rot in this damned website, wasting our lives. How much are we going to live? 70?100 years? How old are you user? How much time do you got? And one has to wonder... What is the point of it all. At the end of the day, we go to our bed, sleep and then restart. We retire at our 60s. Sick, tired, unable. And then, one day, we do not wake up. And what did we achieve? What was the point of trying hard to be successful? Did you build an empire? Did you rule a kingdom? No. All you did for this world while you lived, your biggest change on earth was moving the earth that will now burry you beneath it.

Why not pursue your most stupid dreams user? You won't live much to enjoy anything, so why not take a risk?
But none of us does. And when you look back it's too late. It's always too late.

Hope that you will find a solution to get this money user, really :)

>i wanted to become a soldier
>realized it was bc playing vidya and actually being a soldier is dumb

kek same
as soon as I went to bed the first night I though to myself "What the fuck was I thinking"

They let me go home after 2 weeks

To become a Botanist or Computer/Software engineer after graduating college.

Was forced to join the military immediately after graduation, washed out, re-enlisted a year later, washed out again, and am now trying to pursue two degrees that will only make my life harder from here on.

bruh...

Firefighter or pilot

I have a bad eye which is next to useless so they ended before they started

Always wanted to write. I'm not bad and have so many ideas for novels in my head ... they are probably shit in reality.

Have to pay bills, work and two kids take all my time so I can hardly stay awake when I get them to bed.

Can't be fucked to type more than I have to ...

That's the worst thing, isn't it lads? I vividly remember how full of hope and dreams I was. Then life just smacks you good and leaves you to wonder if it would've been better not to dream at all.

Mid teens was when shit became tumultuous. Family quarrels, court cases, zero backing from any relatives at all. I was essentially a living, breathing proxy war medium between two sides of my family. Just couldn't afford to stay in Uni without support. Working that job to support myself however immediately conflicted with academics. Drained of resources and motivation, I just ended up living with a buddy and working as a bartender for some years, while gaming away my loneliness and ignoring my ambitions as they screamed at me to not let all this time go to waste.

I'm a weak-willed individual, but I like to think I'm not hopeless. Military service kind of jolted me back to life, reminding me that a little hardship goes a long way.

I think I can feel some of that good ol rush again - the desire to act, not ponder. I like it. Good feels for a change.

I'd top you

Where do you come from bro ?

I wanted to be like 10 fucking different things that would never have worked, because I'm in a wheelchair. I'm stuck with office type jobs which I hate, because I want to do something creative.

fml

yea my best friend went off to military uni this september, from the stories he tells, it can be a lot of fun once you get used to the shitty lifestyle. Not for me though, i don't want to sleep in one room with men every night. If i wanted that i'd just go to prison.

he tells me most guys there are massive betas and he has easy time intimidating them. I guess that's how they wanna become men.

dragon naturally speaking


thank me later
now go chase your dream

You could try, but you'd end up with a mouthful of old man dick.

The Heart of it all, the "meh" state of Ohio.

I've been in the Military, and I've been in prison.

Trust me, if you had to choose one, the Military is a lot better.

childhood dream, why didn't you pursue it?

>Go to Air Force Academy

>Best friend's dad was local political fixer
>Got me an invite to spend weekend at my US Senator's house to meet with and secure his nomination
>Big house, bunch of other political types there too for fundraising, brown nosing, meet and greet stuff (think of post wedding activities from "Wedding Crashers")
>Everything going great, he liked me, I got it made - yahoo! Blue Zoo here I come
>Next day, another political shindig, meet girl, we start talking, and we hit it off
>After lunch, she takes me to pool/guest house, fully stocked bar, we snag some beer, start playing some vidya.
>Couple of beers later we're making out big time
>Door opens up, rando group of people walks in and sees us, me with my hand down her pants, our shirts off
>Girl turns out to be daughter of Senator's chief of staff - 10 minutes later, I'm escorted off the property by State Trooper

>be me at the age of 7
>dreaming of doing stuff with computers and have a nice gf in the future
>11 years in the future
>planning to study informatics
>got the best gf one could have
>be me now, pursuing my childhood dreams

In prison for how much time ? And for what ?

I just love watching that DORK hit the ground. Cheers me up every time I see it.

Couldn't figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up so I just fucked around hanging out with friends and fucking girls. Took too long figuring out I want to be an actor. Live on the exact opposite side of the country from CA. Kicked out of mom's house. Living with a friend but have no job. Every time I apply to a job it makes me depressed that it's not a step towards school and it feels like there'll never be enough money to get where I want to be.

Yea that reminded me i also wanted to be a thug for a while. After several won drunken/sober fights and a bad reputation a guy who've had some prison tattoos broke my nose with a small headbutt. I needed that one. Changed my attitude.

Five years at Club Fed for a computer full of Cheesy Pizza that I was sharing with any Tom, Dick, or Officer Standanko in AOL chat rooms

Everyone get's stripped down and made equal but for some reason I was still treated as an outsider which was a bummer.
Also I couldn't have spendt a whole year being pushed around by people the same age as me

My dream was to meet a seemingly nice girl with a magical pussy who would turn into a fat sow after a few years plus trick me into having a kid with her so I can't leave her even when if I should somehow unaddict myself from the sex.
Didnt mean to persue this dream, just kind of happened anyway.

I want to be a famous drummer

This thread is so sad... all these broken hopes and dream
Someone screencap?

even though I posted it, don't know story

fratbro home for holidays
running away from DWI after police get complaints about behavior at BK

am I close? but yeah, this always makes me feel a little bit better about my own stupid life choices - especially after losing my nomination and I didn't even get laid

yea, human nature, if people can't get enough sex(or find other ways to use up stored mental/physical energy) they feel the need to dominate people.

In today's media saturated world there is nothing stopping you from getting a camera and doing videos of you drumming.

All it takes is for one vid to go viral and suddenly you are famous.

youtube.com/watch?v=KaZdQtwkQfg

is this a feels thread yet ?

To be a guitarist like Dave Gilmour who paints amazing aural landscapes that makes people ponder the big important questions.

Instead, I grew up and went in to IT so I could not be homeless. Although, I am one of the better guitarist in my city but the days of the guitar hero are gone.

Appreciate that, man. Never had much joy with dictation software, but I'll give it a shot.

>the days of the guitar hero are gone

I must disagree. I could listen to this guy play all day..

youtube.com/watch?v=MHeHypLZm_c

Wanted to be a scientist but later i knew i wasnt intelligent enough and the theoretical stuff is too boring for me also lived near abandoned train tracks where we played as kids plus modeltrains so doing something with trains and stuff was a second target now working for the biggest railway company in my country so im got something out of it

Why didn't I pursue it you ask?
My dream was to be a girl.

To own a farm and have the world's biggest horse.

Still working towards the former. If I get an opportunity for the latter I'll take it.

The Ausfag is good but was only able to maintain a career thanks to Chet Atkins endorsement. Besides, I suspect I make more than him annually and with retirement and health care.

There are thousands better than him that just scrape by.

Are you

no
I was a stupid 9 yo

it´s the best on the market and totally worth the 70 bucks!
all other stuff is shit compared to this

pics of your boipussy

My dream was to become the king of Sweden.
Still working on that.

I don't have one
They don't exist, fucking autist

Yeah, but if you are doing what you love money becomes less important. Or so I'm told.

I wanted to be a professional athlete when I was a kid. Two blown out knees in my teens kind of destroyed that dream.

then where does your poop come out?

Iktf I wanted to be a pilot too, but I'm doing aerospace engineering desu.

Dream: Married and Happy

Why Not: Hambeast Get

Make sure you're a Somali with red eyes and 12 inch fat cock.

I became someone I'm pround of.
A great father for my child.
A positive model for my students.
A good friend for a bunch of people.

I'm happy, I'm curious of what will happen after. Don't only dream, learn to open your eyes on what's great in your life now.

I wanted to be a game developer

I became a programmer but I'm too depressed to make anything outside of work

>haha

>What was your childhood dream?
To design cars for a living
>why didn't you pursue it?
Lack of support from parents, mostly. I always wanted to design a Jaguar, but the parents just laughed at me constantly and kept telling me I should be an artist for Iron Maiden. No idea where to begin, no idea what I needed either skill or equipment wise. No internet back then either.

Eventually fell into forklift truck driving. I'm 33 now, and am strongly considering taking a welding class so I can learn how to make an off-road buggy.

My dream was to join the navy. Unfortunately i'm too tall. They didn't allow me to join because it will be too rough for back.

I wanted to work as a mechanic in a mechanic's garage or gas station along a lonely stretch of American mid-western highway.

I've always disliked cars.

what? the navy has a height restriction?

I wanted to be a clinical psychologist.
I finished psychology.
Now I'm a clinical psychologist.

What the fuck have I done.

Got rejected to the medical check. They think it will be "a bad investment" for them. Seems like it's something they are very strict about. Even when i never had problems with my back.
