ok. but really.

so more of my ongoing mortality ruminations lead me to this:
what did i really really want to be when i grew up? in fact, what do i want to do now? i have a jumble of priorities; from being a good dad and contributing to peace and wholesomeness in my home, for instance, to being really successful in a job or career, both in terms of the work i produce and the money i bring home.
but i still don't know exactly where the bull's eye is among these and a welter of other sometimes contradictory desires, drives, aspirations, hopes, dreams, needs, etc. and i don't see a clear route from where i am that i can take to get really anywhere near some of the priorities... the huge money part, for example. so.
what did you want to be when you grew up? what did you want, in 1982, to be when you grew up? what did you want to be in 1992 when you grew up? What do you want to be NOW when you grow up?
do you think you'll get there?
