I think I am going to give up on my childhood dreams. It actually feels kind of good to do so.
What was your childhood dream if you do not mind me asking.
I had wanted to be a Chef, but I somehow gave up on it.
Childhood dreams can fade away like memories, it is true. You can always develop new dreams, but you need to act upon them so they don't also become a memory only.
I'm 43 years old so its probably too late to start now.
Well just because you have a dream to be something at a certain age does not mean that you are going to want to do the same thing at your current age. You go through many experiences in life, so allowing them to paint your perspective naturally is the best way to go about it.
