Here's a question

What do you want to be when you grow up? Or even when your grown up, when do you finally put you foot down and say, ' this is it, this is what i was meant to do'. Does it happen?
I'm thinking that it doesn't and we just kind float through life pretending we enjoy what we do rather then suffering through life of finding something. Or perhaps we settle because we made some bad choices before, maybe they went bad, just not right. Take a recovered crack addict ( i know they say they are always recovering, but seriously folks if you haven't done crack for 10 years i really doubt you'll do it again.) They waste maybe 3 years of their life doing drugs and then spend the next 60 apologising for it. Taking shit jobs bagging groceries or answering phones. When do you wake up and say this is all crap?
My working life has only been about 6 years long but I've had over 25 jobs. I can not stand to be under appreciated, be it by the people around above or below me, the wages or by the services I'm employed to provide. Can Not Stand It. So that leaves me to be in a bit of a loop of finding a job, working for 2-3 months getting upset with one aspect or another for my job, and finding another. Most people see me a bouncing from job to job, being unstable and unable to make up my mind, and there for I am unreliable and unpredictable.
I was asked when I would make up my mind today. I answered honestly. I wont. Not the way they wanted me to. If I'm going to spend 1/4 of my life doing something, then I want it to be something I like, not just 'something'. And yeah I can openly admit I have no idea what that something is, but I know 25 things that its not, and that's not a bad thing.
