As you were growing up did you ever think that

I didn't think my life would be like this when I was younger. I thought I'd be somewhere else in life. I guess not. Well I guess that's what you get for getting in trouble at school. I just live life now. It's okay.

When I was born, my mother said that our life was not that good. There was this incident that happen in our family and we have no choice but to separate each other. Me and my older sister was left in our relatives while my mother was looking for a job. I know our life had never been easy. I can say from the time that I was born until I graduated from college it was all heartache. I can count through my finger the times that our family had been happy for one whole day. Conflict is always present. I can’t say my life is perfect at present, but me and my family is still fighting for the odds, hopefully my dream come true for my family. About your question , I never expected that my life when I grew up was full of problems. I thought as I grew up I learn to solve our problems one by one.

Hello jj. When growing up, I did not know that my life is what it is. I thought that I would have three children in total, but it was proved to be impossible because we are not allowed to have that many children because of our one-child policy. I never thought that I would have an apartment of my own. I do possess two apartments, one for my parents and one for my own family. I am happy for my present life though I did not have a clear picture of my own family as a child.

....and the dreams of being your younger self.... cdrxo

Hi jugsjugs, Every girl likes to dream about her future husband and children and the house and the life once she has her own home. This thing comes naturally to girls and they start dreaming about it even before they turn ten years of age. I am not yet married but i have always dreamed about a very handsome guy who would be a doctor and who would love me more than any man has ever loved his wife and two beautiful children, who would grow up to be very handsome men and who would be as good as their father. What i would get is totally different thing. Lets hops i get what i dream of and if not even then i know i would work hard to make my house beautiful home.

Hello Jugsjugs, I think that few of us have the kind of life that we dreamed about back when we were young. Sometimes we simply have to learn how to make the most of what we have. If we don't want to change our situation then we need to learn new ways of seeing it. Good or bad I think that life really comes down to being whatever we make of it. Thanks for posting, hope you have a great day! Happy mylot.

i actually think my life is better than what i thought it would be...i was a bad teen and everyone thought i'd end up on gov't asst. or in jail...thankfully none of those things have occurred...i like to think my kids keep me grounded...everything i do is for them!

Yes, I think I wanted a jaguar and all the trimmings. Had no idea what it all took to get there. Dream big when we are young don't we? I think that reality is life and dreams are realities way of letting off steam. Life is as good as we make it. It can have some of the things we dream after just in more stablized bits.
