What are you now?
Could be anything from job, to love life, to where you want to live, ect. Talk to us about your life, Robot.

married with children working as a shrink. i am instead single at 33, working as a mid-level office monkey with only a BS Psyc. location's just fine, as i love Southern Appalachia. i ain't miserable, but boy, the future just ain't what it used to be. i also got nut cancer last October that ended up spreading to my lymphatic system, stage 3B. had to do 4 cycles of nuclear-tier chemo, 48 bags total of the crap right to the jugular vein. lost my 18+ inches of very nice hair, naturally. working with a single brave surviving nut, of course. my feet are all fucked up after chemo, and my hands are occasionally fucked.

but hey, plenty more folk are way more miserable than me.

When I was a kid I wanted to be an author, because I loved reading fantasy books and I had adhd, so I spent all day every day daydreaming epic stories and trying to be as creative as I could. When I actually sat down to write, however, I realized I suck ass at writing. I couldn't focus long enough to write more than a page, my prose sounds like I'm trying to hard, I'm very repetitive with words without even realizing it. Notice how I followed the word "day" with "daydreaming" before? It sounds fucking stupid when you read it out loud, that's how all my writing is. I realized I'm no good at actually telling stories, they're only fun to me in my head when I'm imagining them.
Right now I'm a dishwasher, it's just about all someone like me is good for in modern society.
My pen name was going to be Ezra Forrester, I was really proud of myself for coming up with it.

growing up i was always fascinated with geography. as a little kid i would sit with my gran and study maps of the world and different biomes. i was also very creative, i knew how to make music in my teens and would spend my free time studying geopolitics and writing songs. ended up as a freeter working part time minimum wage jobs for years because i hated the only full time job i had and if i cant get a career in the other things i at least want time to enjoy the hobbies even if im poor and never leave the house.

I wanted to be a gun designer and make new caliber weapons. Now, I'm just an unemployed NEET with a lot of guns some of which I've heavily upgraded. My 1911 alone was a project gun started out as a PARA Ordinance 1911 stock and my buddy from the army (he's a legit gunsmith) helped me upgrade it from the ground up. The only stock parts left are the slide, frame, and thumb safety. Everything else is stainless steel or titanium aftermarket parts. I modeled it after Hitman Agent 47's 'Silverballer'

I don't think I ever knew what I want to be when I grow up.

Well what are you now?

I wanted to be independant. Working for my own interests and not being beholden to anyone but myself.
Today, I'm a loser who bounces from one dead-end job to another just to barely survive.

I wanted to be a Paleontologist because I saw Jurassic Park and thought I could go to a cool dinosaur island. Then I found out it just meant the first Grant scene, digging for a bone in the desert. I also wanted to be a cartoonist and author, which desu are pretty easy to accomplish nowadays since you don't have to rely on a publisher.

rn I'm 33 and unemployed, I help fix up my mom's new house in exchange for not paying rent.

Same. Looking back on it, I think I just assumed I'd have a job at some point and be like all the other adults. I don't have any passions or interests in anything so I'm fundamentally wrong as a human being.
