Happy Wednesday! So not too long ago, I had a conversation with my younger sister about what it's like being an adult and all the responsibilities that comes with being an adult. She's a teenager so she's at that age where kids think they know everything. During our conversation, I told her about how my views had changed over the years and I also mentioned some random facts about me that she may not know or remember. I definitely think she's starting to change her views since we had our conversation. Today I'm going to share just a few thoughts that I had when I was younger.
When I was young, I thought I would live in New York City for the rest of my life.
When I was young, I said I was going to be a bachelorette forever and that I didn't think I would ever have children. My mami would laugh whenever I told her that.
When I was young, I couldn't wait to be a grown up. I'm pretty sure every kid goes through that phase where they can't wait to grow up and do whatever they want.
When I was young, Hey Arnold and Rugrats were the best cartoons ever!
When I was young, the first movie that made me cry was Saving Private Ryan. The first cartoon that made me cry was Rugrats. I cried during the episode about Chucky's mom. Just thinking about that episode makes me want to cry.
When I was young, I thought that my mami was just old school. I never really asked her for any advice. Now that I'm older, I realize that she was right about so many things and I go to her for advice.
When I was young, I wanted to be a doctor, a zoo keeper, a scientist, a paleontologist, a librarian, and a writer.
When I was young, I thought watching the news was for old people. Now that I'm older, I watch the news everyday.
How have your views changed over the years?
Thanks for visiting!
Until next time...
I distinctly remember saying at 16 that I never wanted to get married. Jokes on me though because I married my beloved husband when I was 19...a lot can change in a few years, apparently. I always said as a kid that I wanted to be a writer and I have carried that with me into adulthood.
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy how things change so fast. Being a writer/author is something that I still want to be. Getting married and having kids are two things that I never thought would happen, but I am so glad that it did. I love my husband and kids.
DeleteThis is such a cute post! When I was young, I wanted to be a doctor too until a kid told me that girls couldn't be doctors so I changed my mind and wanted to become a nurse instead. So that's what I did! I actually loved the role of a nurse more than the doctor - it had more patient care involved! And I also wanted to be a french news anchor that wore red lipstick...weird eh?!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kimberly! I'm so glad that you love being a nurse. Nurses and doctors are both important, but nurses tend to be more involved with patients.
DeleteOh man I could come up with quite a list of things I thought about when I was young! I know I wanted to be a veteranarian, a teacher, a librarian and a nurse at various points. I used to dislike summer (and now I love it) I'll have to think about some others and do a post like this, fun read!

I used to not care for Fall, but now it's my favorite season. Spring is now my second favorite season. So many little things have changed throughout the years.
DeleteI loved Rugrats, too! My kids never got into it, sadly. I too used to think I'd never get married and have kids. It was funny to my parents, too, whenever I'd say it, haha. :) Love this, cute post!
ReplyDeleteI've been recording some of the episodes, but my kids haven't really gotten into it. Lol it's funny how things change.
DeleteI think a lot of the big things about myself are pretty much the same. I never wanted to grow up. LOL I loved Rugrats growing up too though. The seasons are starting to come out on DVD and I need them.

I had no idea that the seasons are becoming available on DVD. I definitely have to buy them.
