I'm all grow'd up but I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.
I knew at an early age that I wanted to major in Psychology.
The first book I bought myself was Games People Play by Eric Berne.
So I went to college and studied Psychology. But I never planned to work in it. It seems to me that those who really want help are able to help themselves. Psychologists are stuck with the rest.
So I grew up to be a Mother.
Every job has it's good and bad, but for the most part I really liked that job. I feel that it was what I was supposed to do in life.
But now I am Mother Emeritus.
And I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.
Maybe I just won't grow up.
I don't know what to do, but I know what I want to be.
I want to be like Jesus.
I'm not doing a very good job.
I have a long way to go.
It takes a lot of work and time.
Will I ever grow up to be like my Heavenly Parents?
Will I ever really grow up?

a place where I can write whatever is on my mind with no expectations of brilliance, profundity or even interest. a way to share my life, how I feel and what I have learned. a chance to find the real me because that is more important than the laundry and cleaning out closets.

If you don't think you're grown up then there's no hope for me! I come to you for wisdom and always find it.
Is this meant to be funny, because I'm laughing! I agree with Jill! And for someone who doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up- you are a pretty smart cookie and I think you are doing all right!!
I've always said when I grow up I want to be like my own mother. If she's not grown up, I think I'm in trouble! :)
Thank you. But tell me, am I alone in feeling that part of me is still a scared, lost little kid?
Linda Taylor keeps telling me that you can be whatever you want to be. If you set your mind to it and just do it, you can become anything you dream. She usually references this in a materialistic context, but it stays with me in more ways. As the end of my college years draw near I ask myself over and over what I want to be. I want to be my mother, in all her wisdom and righteousness. I think the funny part about having a perfect picture of what you want to become is that you will always feel like you fall short. Some day Mom you'll realize just how close you are to your goal.
