Dream job.

What was your dream job as a child? A writer and a veterinarian. I wanted to take care of animals and then write stories about animals. I still want to write to a certain extent but I’m not sure about being a veterinarian. Too much science. I’m sure if I went for it now it …

Dream Jobs

Do I exist when I don’t write?
