I was just curious...

well, in my case i would say i was a child who had realistic dreams for my future. i wanted to study well, get a job and be successful in life, and support my parents. unfortunately i got married early and now am a housewife instead of being successful as i dreamed of. sigh but it's life. i have a son and now, expecting a daughter. i didn't really have jewels and all kinds of dreams.

LIFE AS PICTURED, to some extent its fine to dream, but to live with all those dreams is a foolish act. Life is struggle and one has to, and be just bold and bullish, life is not the one living but the life is how much one is enjoying

it is funny that you ask this question because i was in my bathroom last nite cleaning it so i can give my baby girl her bath. that's her in my avatar. anyway i am scrubing my tub and as much as i hate cleaning the bathroom i was almost in tears that I was cleaning my bathroom in my apartment where I have raised my three children. my childhood althought not horrible, but man could have been alot better didn't leave much room for dreams and goals. I didn't know as a child or even as a young adult that I could have dreams and goals. but cleaning that tub last nite, did remind me of one thing I always wanted and that was my very own place to raise my own children and give them something I never had a stable home. So i guess dreams do come true

My life definitely hasn't, but then again, who really doesn't fall prey to those childhood dillusions? I definitely pictured myself attending school and the like, and I am in college, but I pictured myself engaged, ready to be married by now. I'm definitely not there, but there comes a point when you realize your life won't go as you planned unless you really really work at it and make sure you get it. I'm not too concerned about it though. It's just silly childhood dreams.

My life definitely hasn't turned out exactly how I planned it, but there are alot of things that I wouldn't change either. I am happily married with a 16 year old daughter but every day is a struggle for us financially even though we work our rearends off 7 days a week. I had hoped to be financially stable by now. I always wanted to go to college right after high school but it just didn't work out that way and we cannot afford for it to happen now. I am happy overall though because I still have my husband and my daughter and we have come a long way and we are all still together.

Ever since i can remember i had always wanted to do something with children or with the elderly. I love kids and i love grandparents you can learn so much, i also wanted to have a family with 3 children and a house in my home town right close to my friends and family. But as i went to high school and started looking into my options i knew they were right for me. but then one summer i met this amazing guy ( whom i am still with ) and we hit it off right away. I was soposed to return to school when i found out i was pregnant and then everything started too fall apart. my carrer wants and goals that i had set for myself. I did not ever finish my schooling but i did start the family that i wanted and the home i always dreamed of.. one day my dreams will come true

When I look back at how I expected my life to go, I can defintiely say that it has not turned out the way that I had envisioned back then. Although if you think I am unhappy then you are completely wrong. I am married to a wonderful women, getting ready to finish with school and go into a career that I am looking forward to going into. However, it's not the life I saw when I was younger. When I was younger I wanted to be famous. It was about being a movie director or screenwriter and being rich and having the big house on the hill. It's not about that anymore, but it's fun to remember what I thought my life would be and where I am headed.

I dreamed of so much when I was a girl, having a princess wedding (didn't happen), living in a little cottage with a rose covered white picket fence (didn't happen), being a famous artist (yeah, you guessed it, didn't happen), going to college, living happily ever after. HAHAHA!!! But my dreams did change, I am content, married with children and grandchildren, priorites have changed for me, I have my own home which was my biggest dream for years and has finally come true. Now I would just like to be debt free and live comfortably.

I don't think anything I dreamed of when I was younger ever came true, except getting a degree. Even then, it wasn't the one I always wanted. Though I never really dreamed of being super rich or live in a castle or have a lots of jewelry. I always thought I'd marry older, like in my 30's. But ended up getting married @ 22. I wanted to be a writer but have long put that on hold, hopefully will be able to resurrect it someday. But that doesn't mean I regret not pursuing my dreams. I guess they just changed as I got older.

For me I had dreamd that am going to study to the highest level, have a good job and become famous and marry the man of my dreams. Unfortunately I could not complete my degree because of my father's financial instability. ok, he tried his best but I ended up dropping out of university after his demise. Now am going to marry the man of my dreams, have a simple job and if i get funds, am going to complete my degree. Oh no, I never dreamd of jewels and crown in any of my wild dreams.

Well, it hasn't exactly turned out like I dreamed, but I too, wouldn't change a thing. I hadn't really considered having kids when I was a kid. I wanted to be a veterinarian and save all the planet's animals. Which in some capacity, I have been able to help some, especially doing equine massage, I get to help my favorite animals, horses. I moved around alot as a kid so I didn't have a "best" friend. It was always me and my animals. I didn't become a vet, but I do get to work with animals. So I guess in a way, I am fullfilling one dream.

I really wanted to study either chemistry or physics, but it never happened because i dropped of school after compulsory school. Im quite happý that i didnt continue, because that ment i after a few years got into a welding § metalwork education, done 1 year now and hopefully will go on a similar education.

I think most of us have had that dream of a beautiful castle! I, too, wanted to live in one. I dreamed of being a writer, being married to a wonderful man and having children. Well, I'm writing this so I wasn't all wrong, eh? ;-) I have two wonderful sons of 19 and 20, I'm very proud of them. I didn't marry a wonderful man and he divorced me after 19 years for his high school girlfriend but I'm now okay with that. I don't live in the castle I dreamed of but I just bought my very first (and probably last) house and it feels like a castle to me. I wouldn't change a thing about my life, though, because that would change who I am today and I like who I've become.
