I learned a few things about myself today.
1. In Social Policy, Dr. Kim asked us where we saw ourselves 5 years from now. Every time anyone asks me that, I always tell them, “Feeding the homeless, with a baby strapped to my back.” That’s what I want to accomplish in life. I want to be an amazing social worker, volunteering my time for others, while teaching my children the value of living communally. I learned that I want to have my first baby by the time I’m 26. I want to be back in California, I want to be serving at the hippy kitchen in LA.
2. Hanging up on people may be one of the best outlets for me when I’m angry. Honestly.
I want to be so much bigger than everyone expects me to be–I want to start a non-profit, I want to be the best parent possible, I want to be a compassionate wife, I want to be a social worker people want to hear from, I want to work with native american children on reservations, I want to live in Canada, Washington, Oregon, and Mississippi. I want to live a trillion lifetimes in the single one I’ve been given. I can’t let myself be limited, no matter how white suburbia calls to me.
Great idea to keep these thoughts here. Then you can check back in 5 years. Good luck with the dreams.
