What did you think you'd be doing at this age?
Talk about your life today and how it compares to how you thought things would be when you were 10 years old.
lol....oh my goodness what's the purpose of this? well, truth be known I'm an artist. And I had long envisioned myself living and working in a studio in NYC. Ever since I was young, I felt it was my destiny, and I was good, too. I actually came close to living that lifestyle. I feel good about my life now, because it wasn't a pipe dream where I had no talent, but instead, I chose to raise a family instead. If you want to sell art - I mean, really high-end SoHo kind of art - you have to sell your soul. That's just the business. And I didn't want to do that. Plus art is intensive on that level, and it's very hard to be a parent AND do it at the same time. People do it, but I wanted to be more involved in my children's lives.
Something I did think was that I'd have my grandchildren running around and be cooking big meals for the families.
I've always wanted to have a store. When I was young I wanted a candy store. When I was a teen I wanted a stylish clothing store. I also didn't want any kids. Now I have 4 kids, they have given me so much happiness. And I own a store in a small town too. I sell everything in it...fresh flowers, my handmade jewelry, gifts, furniture, and all my favorite gourmet food lines and bath products. However I stay at home with my kids most of the time which I love more than anything.
When I was 10 years old I hoped that when I was in my 20's I'd have a kid and be with someone I loved. Right now I'm 25 and I've been married for 5 years and have a 2 1/2 year old.
gosh, I think I wanted to get married and be a paleontologist
