As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A fighter pilot.

It never happened although I'm still just as obsessed with flying.

That's a really cool dream, have a you thought of going for a private pilot's license?

Since I could never become a pilot when I was growing up, I concentrated on flight sims on the PC (I still do).

There's no way for a citizen to get a private pilot's license in many different countries around the world. Unfortunately, I live in one of these countries.

That sucks, I hope that changes for you and you get to fulfill your dream.

A reader of books, an eater of cheese.

As a child I read alot of books. The library was my favourite place to go and I was reading young adult fiction and the occasional novel by the age of 9, I'd leave with twenty of them every week.

As an adult I eat lots of cheese halloumi is my fave

I was a bookworm. My parents didn't want to stop me but they worried because I didn't want to dry anything else.

Oh, also: eat pickles.

I think a bookworm child is a good problem to have as a parent.

Yup.

I was a bookworm but my parents didn't consider it a problem.

I love halloumi too!

I had no idea. So when adults asked I told them "a butterfly" to watch them squirm for daring to assume I should know. I did this all the way up to the age of 16.

Lol well played. I used to love drawing shitty buildings when I was very little so I decided that I wanted to be an architect, but then the more I learnt about the world in my teens, the more it stopped looking like a fun choice. So I went from being absolutely sure of it, to having no fucking idea by the end of highschool.

I wanted to join the Rangers. Follow in my grandpa's footsteps.

Aw I'm sure that made grandpa very happy.

I never joined, though. I began to lose interest during my years at military school.

Sure, but you still wanted to join because you looked up to him, that had to count for a lot. That you then decided it's not for you doesn't really affect that I think.

Serve in Russian Army or be the Ceo of Lego.

veterinarian. Im glad I didn't

For a moment I read that as vegetarian lol

Why are you glad?
