I fear I'm not ready to do any of this

I sometimes wish I had different dreams. Like, why didn't I ever want to cure cancer? Or be a scientist? Or be a business woman? The first thing I wanted to be was an adventurer, then a detective, then a witch, then a super model (lol), then throw in a bunch of other random stuff like an Umbrella emloyee gone rogue... I wanted to be all of it - all things : So I thought acting makes sense. You get to pretend to be all of these.

It's a very shitty dream to have. Like you, I ended up thinking maybe it makes sense to be interested in the behind the scenes stuff like directing, producing and exactly like you : cinematography. (Even took full photography courses)

It's so shitty, that not only you - but the entire society looks down on your dreams. I mean, unless you dream of becoming president or save the world by inventing something amazing or curing some disease then you don't matter and your dreams are stupif cause they don't contribute to the society. (Their word, not mine. They're wrong)
