Or was Darkness just blowing smoke?
Jean-Claude Van Damme had a good line.
He said that when he was 10 years old he decided that he wanted to be a world famous martial arts actor. Now he’s a 50 year old man living a child’s dream.
I admire Madonna, Garth Brooks and Lady Gaga for the same reasons. They all said, “I’m going to do this thing.”, and did it. And they sure aimed high.
I don’t think that’s what’s meant. It’s not that he set out to do a thing and achieved it; it’s that he set out to do what a child dreamed of but now he’s a grown man.
Damn it! That is a pretty good measure for maturity. Do you have the self awareness and experience to regret your youthful dreams?
I certainly do. I fixated on car culture at 15. I didn’t know I enjoy being a Maker most, or that applied science is the field of the ultimate Maker demigods. If I could go back and explain this to myself, it would likely be deeply fulfilling.
I only barely survived a crash with two cars while riding a bicycle to work. My spine is all messed up and it appears unfixable. I’m professionally incompetent due to the deeply unstable sleep patterns. Sleeping remedies cause inactivity that create further problems. I am the undead trapped in limbo.

I wanted to be a cop, so nah. Dodged a bullet.
I do like working out though, so glad it got me into that at least.
After going through just life, Im don’t even question myself that. I’m like dude, your survived . Period .
