When I was a kid and young person, I never had a good answer to what I wanted to be when I grew up, except maybe happy or well-read, or something like that. If you asked me what I didn't want to be, however, I had a long list. I'll be 56 this month and I've done just fine on a life path defined by rejecting things I didn't want to do (sit still, dress up, parallel park, talk to dumb people, raise kids who are as****es) far more than the pursuit of any specific goals.
Getting this email today was like bumping into some guy who asked you out once in high school and you said no because no matter how cool he and everyone else thought he was, he wasn't. Seeing him reminds you that you've always been who you are and it hasn't worked out badly.
