Poem for the evening:
“career twist”
when I was nine
I wanted to be a nurse
like the grandmother
I never knew
but something happened
along the way
a twist of fate placed me
on another career path
I now look around asking
myself how did I end up here?

Happens to the best of us. ;) Love this take.
ReplyDeleteI never got what I wanted either ~ I think at sometime, we ask ourselves that question ~
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us ~
i feel that sense of confusion, the knowledge that you're not where you expected to be. you illustrate it so well and so simply. nice job!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it weird how we can look back and wonder what happened to those dreams. Life is full of twists.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this.. Happens to so many... I had no clear intentions of my career - but went wer destiny brought me.
ReplyDeletetwist of fate takes us to places not intended...nicely done...
ReplyDeleteSometimes we end up exactly where we didn't expect ☺
ReplyDeleteNow I want to know the rest of the story; I hope you'll write it.
ReplyDeleteAh yes --- the many twists and turns of life. Nobody ever grows up saying I want to be the dean of an MBA program :) Some careers just happen! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I know the feeling well. What I don't know is anyone who grew up to fulfill their 9-year-old fantasy. You dream, and then life happens. I enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteLife sure does that!
ReplyDeleteYes, interesting how that happens!
ReplyDeleteOye. Twists one's heart when the realisation strikes that one made the wrong choices. Well put.
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for reading. Much appreciated. :)
ReplyDeleteha - I can so relate to your poem..that twist of fate takes us far from our dreams.
ReplyDeleteI hope you like where you ended up. :o)
ReplyDeleteSomething I think we all do! I must of changed my mind so many times now.
