    🤨 I wanted to be the person that cut the grass in grave yards

    Whut. Is this true? Sorry, I am laughing right now at this.
    Haha yeah
    I wanted to live in a house in the graveyard
    My plan was to keep it all tidy and put a flower on every grave

    Such a weird kid

    You were a super sweet kid!!!🤗😘❤

    Right! Besides a gypsy and a princess I also wanted to be an archeologist (you know, like Indiana Jones!) until I found out archeologists just dig around in the dirt.

    Ikr... And study ancient buildings and stuff, instead of what I really wanted to do.... Look for magical artifacts and lost cities 🤷🏽‍♂️

    All I wanted was to be happy. I remember growing up and saying things like, “I can’t wait to have my own family and do things differently.” Then I grew up and became exactly like my mother.

    I would say I'm just like my father, and in many ways I am...

    But I'll give him a little more credit, he gets more done by 9am than I do all week 😂

    A cowboy. I wanted to ride horses and live in the country and rob a bank or two a year to have enough money for me and my horse to eat. Of course houses were free.

    I just wanted to survive, and I guess I mostly accomplished that. Maybe I shoulda set more concrete goals

    As a kid I remember telling my parents "I want to be a daddy and a farmer" and then once I hit double digits I remember wanting to be a cop. I am none of those things.

    I never imagined myself living to be an adult so never dreamed of what I wanted to be.
    Childhood sexual abuse really screws with one's head.

    So sorry you've been through something as traumatic as that.
    You're a survivor, and incredibly strong ❤️
    I hope you found the support you needed.

    Thank you. I've worked through it all and am healthy, mentally and physically.
