    • Childhood wishes, dreams? And now? If different, what changed it?

      Yes, well. My dream while I was a child was silly. But it was to become a hero such as Iron Man. I always saw the suits that the military are always working on, where they can lift more shit, run faster, jump farther, etc. Always held my interest. But shortly after, I gained a new perspective on ''heroes'' and ''villains''. I don't support the military. I don't support the troops. I don't support people trying to be heroes, because the world will just use those few heroes, since they can't help themselves. Or, that's how I started thinking of it back then.

      My dream now is just as silly because it simply will not happen. I want to work with Nintendo, be part of the company that brought my childhood's imagination to life. That made me into the gamer I am today. I don't like the Wii, or any system they've made like it. But I love nintendo. Always will. And I will always continue to hope that one day, I can be part of the Nintendo Legacy. Don't even care what'd I do.

      What's everyone else's wishes/dreams?

    • I wanted to be an author when I was younger, but as I grew up reading millions of books, I realized that i'd have to be REALLY creative to create something no one else has done, and I sure as hell am not creative now.


      My new dream now is to finish school and start my adult life/go to college,

      Another dream now is to reach 1k PSN trophies... I wonder which will come true first

      Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot.

    • At first, when I was elementary school, I've wanted to be a doctor. Helping people is something I've always wanted to do - but my "friend" told me that wasn't going to happen, because I was getting bad grades and I wasn't smart enough like her. Completely killed my dream. After that, I thought about being a drummer for a few years, but I didn't have a set I could even practice on, so I gave that up as well.

      Then high school hit - and while dealing with depression, I became very interested in reading and suicide. I was completely against it (even though I had those thoughts) and I always thought there was a way that someone could be saved but I couldn't do that if I was having these thoughts. So I had to figure myself out, and try to help myself before I could try to help anyone else. So I branched myself out and I placed these thoughts on paper.

      Twelve years later, and I'm still determined to help others - mainly to help them out of their suicide thoughts, by the way of words. At first, I thought of becoming a psychiatrist or a social worker, but I didn't have the money to go to school for that. Writing stories is one thing I know I'm great at - and I'm in the middle of finishing up a manuscript that I will be submitting to a publisher who is interested in it.

      I'm still trying to help others and trying to help save someone's life - but in a completely different way.
      Scream and be free.

    • I always wanted to be an inventor, i mean. why the hell not? You could create random shit like... Banana peeler machine.
      In the end i realized that my creativity is far from enough for this wish

      If you're angry, don't break anybody's heart, they only have one..... Break their bones, they have 206 of them

      -I was certain I wouldn't be a smoker when I grow up - turned out I became one.
      -I wanted to become a vet and help out animals, still do.

    • I wanted to be a teenaged mutant ninja turtle. I used to put my mother's biggest scarf around my neck as a cape (I don't know when ninja turtles started wearing capes?) and jump and run around the apartment like a lunatic while shouting "COWABUNGAAAA"

      ...Nope, can't see what has changed 'til now :P
      "Cool guys don't look at explosions~"

    • Wanted to became a doctor...
      I don't want to be one anymore, most doctors look at their patient like a broken car... 'there is something wrong with it, I need to fix it'

      I'm being molded to something that resembles a nurse.
      Maybe I'll never fix that one problem, but nurses sure as hell fix other problems!
