Expectation vs reality.
What did you want to be when you were younger? Your hopes and aspirations.
How do they measure up to your life now?

I wanted to go into acting or music. I did Dj for a decade or so and am now in an office. No regrets. Quite happy with choices Ive made and the times Ive had.

Alt. Inspire us all with some recipes for good food. Or not.

Talk amongst yourselves. How has your day been?
