Today I was filling out yet more forms, about the 6^th one in the last week, this one was a little different, it contained the field addressing aspirations and the future. This kind of scared me a little, yeah sure like everyone else I have dreams, but I realized just how distant they seem. With my exams starting next week I am beginning to wonder whether I will join the rest of middle England with a job that just about pays for my life, a mortgage and the kids eventually when they come along, or whether or not this little dream of mine will become a reality some day..

I don’t know exactly what others peoples take on this is, does everyone actually have an aspiration? Is everyone destined to fail or succeed? And the main question of why we actually have these thoughts at all seems to keep cropping up on me.. Is it to give us something to vaguely focus upon whilst dragging ourselves through life in the eventual conquest of this one dream, or the distraction that everybody needs once in a while to stop themselves from being dragged about and realize that time on this world is limited, limited to a very short space of time in the grand scheme of things.

Anyway, Ill leave it here, with one question.

What’s your aspiration?
