I see how this dream could seem far-fetched, but I'm willing to work for it. This dream of financial independence has never really changed for me, but the idea of how it definitely has.

I really want to be able to write books or add to literature/media in some fashion. While I'm the best at writing, if I can add art, games, books, movies, shows, or even comics into the world to express my imagination, it would mean the most to me and I strive each day to be able to accomplish this. Now, I recognize most of these options aren't stable for a job, and I have a job I'd rather do full time because of its' own merit. This makes time one of my biggest inhibitors, that can hopefully be surpassed with dedicated schedules or outside help for whatever medium I choose. As long as I can work with those around me and have support, I can accomplish this, and even without such a crutch, I will still try.

I always thought city-building would be cool. Just building roads and buildings, or designing them, and creating a large urbanized area would be a fun job to have. Looking at the whole landscape with interconnected areas of roads, sidewalks, bridges, and parks and feeling proud of the design and immense size of the finished product. I always enjoyed building with Legos when I was young (and still do), and the whole concept of building and constructing to create a large product always was a thrill to me. My future dream is to do well in business for myself and for my family, but more importantly find the right person and have a great family going forward. Just looking to build a large social web with people who are interested in similar things as me.

When I was a kid I had this dream to create a web-shooter like in Spiderman. I've always loved Spiderman as a kid and I just loved the toy web shooters, and I thought it would be a great idea to make one myself, but one that's more realistic. Me and my dad sketched out designs for our web shooter and how it would work. I ended up obviously never making the web shooter, but this shows how creative and optimistic I was, on things that weren't really realistic. This also sparked my love for art, and design, as I continue drawing today.

My dream when I was a wee lad was to be a mermaid; a vampire, a wizard and also a famous singer. I had very large dreams to tackle, but believe me I TRIED. I did spells on my legs to hopefully turn them into a fishtail, I made my parents buy me Mal's spell book so I could learn how to do magic, and I watch so many vampire movies and tv shows hoping that one day, someday, I would grow fangs. I think what this said about me is like I clang to fiction, the unlikely. I think I still do. Reality is so boring and as humans we get so caught up in patterns. Where's the fun in that? I think in the future I would like to keep hoping or striving for the unlikely, "choosing the path that scares me". -Marcus T-Toe
