I Don’t Know Who I Want To Be When I Grow up

I am 27 years old

This question started when we were little. Who do we want to be when we grow up? and here you gave your honest answer as a kid, you wanted to be Spider-Man, an astronaut, a doctor, or even a princess, and why not all four. Your answers were based on your current passion, what you liked.

When you started growing up and realized that the world is not as easy as it seems and that fairytales don’t exist, the illusion of becoming who you want gets blurred by the life you are starting to know. Your passion changes, the things you like, so as your dreams.

Dreams and goals get pushed by one thing and one thing only which is: possibility. You learn that being Spider-Man except as an actor is quite impossible, being an astronaut or a doctor takes you to study for most of your life, and becoming a princess unless you already are one, would require you to meet and marry a prince. And let me tell you, they are nowhere to be found to the best of my knowledge.

The other main thing is that life gets in the way. A dream is a dream and most of the time doesn't pay your bills. If it does, you’re living among the lucky. and it gets harder and harder to know who we want to be when we grow up because we simply keep growing.

Our perception changes as we age and our experience with life too. We get bored and can lose our first days of excitement at our new job very quickly and start hating it out of nowhere.

So, now, how do we find our passion? and how do we make a living out of it? and would that make us happier?
