Wow.
Things I thought I would have done in 2016 if you asked me in 1996:
- Become a pop star.
- Won at least 2 Oscars.
- Become a bestselling author.
So I'm pretty much on track.
It's strange that getting married and having a kid didn't make the list. Those have turned out to be the things that I'm most proud of. I say this as my son tries to pull one of the slats out of our blinds. His face is also covered with dirt and spit up. Maybe I should clean that up...
Okay, I'm back. What was I saying? Oh, right: my life goals in 1996. I am so thankful things didn't turn out as I had hoped at the wise age of 11 years old. Life is unexpected, and while that sometimes can be a difficult thing, it can also be a very good thing.
(I would have made a terrible pop star. Sure I've got killer dance moves and auto-tune can work wonders, but my skin is way too pasty white and tanning beds are bad. Skin cancer is real, folks.)
Things don't always go as planned. For example, I planned to finish this blog post with some witty and important insight, but my son is trying to eat a power cord so I should probably take care of that.
Happy New Year!
