The Friday Five for 13 December 2024

1. What did you want to be when you grew up?
- Illustrator

2. Did you follow through? If not, what happened?
- Hell no. First of all, I'm not good enough at drawing. Second, I like financial stability and having a job that pays.

3. Is your life turning out the way you thought it would when you were a kid? If not, is it better or worse?
- Not exactly like I thought, but it's not like I had many expectations either.

4. Paradoxes aside, if you could time-travel back to when you were 10 years old, what would you tell your 10-year-old self?
- Nothing. I had a good time, a good childhood. Not perfect, no one's life is, but I had a good time in general. It is the me of now that still has to figure out what the hell I'm going to do in life, how to be a grownup.

5. Do you think the child you were, would like the adult you've become?
- Not sure... I think actually, yes. I have work, and not just any work, but work with computers. I liked that stuff as a kid too.

Picks a Fruits Basket icon because I loved that manga as a kid.
