😀 Tom Sometimes I wonder why I didn't become an architect. I wanted to be one when I was a kid. I still I think I could have been a great architect.

Mark Dain I honestly believe you should always chase what you wanted to be as a kid. When you're that age you have no responsibilities so you want to be what you'd love to do. There's no obligation to work so you don't even imagine a job; just a great activity. I always love it when adults still have the same dream in the back of their minds; if you do, I think it's worth persuing as all the changes you went through with puberty and the maturing as an adult, that dream never went away. Isn't that worth trying? For me, chasing my childhood dream fills me with immeasurable amounts of joy. I really hope it's the same for you.

Martijn My mysophobia has grown with age, there is no way old me would enjoy archaeological digs the way young me envisioned.

Mark Dain Perhaps that's a fear you can overcome? Or you can do it in a more adult way?
