Foolish dreams

Today’s prompt again courtesy of Just Rojie’s prompts for April

What’s a childhood dream you still secretly hold onto?

This was actually a tough one for me. Childhood dream…hmmm…

Become Snow White at Disney? Probably not happening at this point. Unless they want geriatric versions of the princesses down the road, then I might sign up.

Career as a nurse in the Army? Would I love to wear a khaki green uniform and be around handsome men also in khaki green uniforms? Yes, absolutely. But nope, not happening. I mean, I did become a nurse but not in the Army and definitely was rarely surrounded by good looking men.

I always wanted a place like the set of The Cosby Show and live in New York. Also, to be married to a doctor like the wife was. I said as much to my Mom when I was a kid and she said no, you do not want to marry a doctor. They’re always on call and running out to see patients last minute. Also, they’re never home.

I long gave up on that foolish dream. Foolish for many many reasons.

Baby RR, I screenshot this from Cordelia’s IG story
Kept this book I made when I was 6, still sad when I’m along & still sometimes a witch 😁

  1. Not the ‘geriatric princess’ application 😭 I’d still support it though lol. But this was actually really honest… it’s wild how many childhood dreams we quietly let go of because life just… redirects us. That New York + cozy life vision sounds so good though 🥺✨

  2. i think you’d make an awesome hip fairy godmother, dispensing good advice and good will to people. in a way, i feel like that’s what you do with the babies and people around you already.
