My Life's Greatest Goal

Making a bucket list is a great way to write down what you want to do in your life. There are things I want to do and want to see, but I’ve never written them down. I just have them saved in my head. I have life goals too, but to be honest, one sits above all the rest. I want to be a dad really, really badly. I think it might just be my life’s purpose. My want (it’s a need) to be a dad is well-documented on my blog. I’ve written posts about wanting a baby and my dream life multiple times. I am a very “hobby” person. I get really into something and then move on relatively quickly. This makes it really hard to know what I want to do when I get older. I’ve had so many career paths I’ve wanted to embark on, but they change all the time. I can never settle on something. I have too many things I’m interested in. I most definitely inherited this trait from my father. The one thing that has been consistent throughout all of my career path changes is my want to be a dad. A mini-me would be so fucking cool. Obviously, you want a child to become their own person, but a mini-me for at least a little bit would be like creating my own new best friend. Have you ever watched the Austin Powers movies? You know Dr. Evil and his mini-me? That would be me and my child, but we’d be less evil. We’d wear matching outfits from Ralph Lauren, eat steak and mashed potatoes, play Xbox golf, play real golf, and then fall asleep. We’d be the new Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. We’d be LeBron, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh (Violet can be Chris Bosh in this scenario). My child and I would be peanut butter and jelly, and Violet can be the bread. I could be Batman, Violet could be Catwoman, and my child could be Robin. I think you get the gist. Oh! Last one: maybe I could be Salt, Violet could be Pepper, and my child could be Cumin. Well, that doesn’t work as well as the other ones. I’ll keep brainstorming. The issue with all these dynamic duos/trios is that I want two kids. So, I’ll also have to brainstorm some quads. I know I’m only nineteen, and things will change over time. Things are always changing, but I think this life goal will always be here. I think looking forward to the future can’t be a bad thing. When I’m forty-five, a multi-millionaire, a father of two, and happy as ever, I’ll look back at these posts and smile.I hope everyone had a great Wednesday. It was a long day for sure. I’ll see you Friday.
