continuity

at age 5, things i wanted to be when i grew up:

1. ballerina.
2. olympic figure skater.
3. mermaid.
4. queen of the world.


at age 25, things i want to be when i grow up:

1. metaphysician.
2. beckett scholar.
3. "thinker of ideas."
4. ruler of the world.

it's comforting to know that at least one part of my identity has remained constant throughout the years.
