Dear Diary: My Ambitions In Life

To be a Brgy Tanod (Village security guard)

__To be a seaman and join the starstruck

To count the raindrops while the snow is falling

To see Mermaids and Dugong

To ask God what is my ambition

To make man immortal

I remember when I was just a little boy and me and my mother are aboard a bus and I was looking out to the side out the road and there I see the street sweepers. Then my mother asked me or something like that what I wanted to be when I grow up and I told her that I wanted to be a "MetropAide."

The street sweepers were called a Metro-Aide at that time and they wore uniforms which is colored yellow and red long sleeves. I was just attracted to them and they seem okay with their "work" so I uttered I want to be like them to my mother which in a dismayed voice replied back to me that I have such a low ambition. And I didn't even know what she meant by that or what did I just said. I thought that Metro-Aides were cool and fulfilling job.

Years later I recalled that moment with my mother and it seemed funny. But I realized that now I am lower than those street sweepers that I saw because today I cannot even carry my own body. At dialysis they just wheel me back and forth to my dialysis chair as I can't walk easily.

If really my body were as okay as ten years ago I would have done much much things today especially with the help of cryptocurrencies in general and I may have opened a business of my own because a long time ago I just wanted to be a business manager. My teacher told us that to be a manager you should own your own business. Then I had set my sights on my target in life and all went downhill. Or maybe not, because of steemit, my rescue. In a way it is okay in some perspective. It's just a funny life that I had now.
