Guess I better answer them then!
1. What did you want to be when you grew up?
I held the dream for years of being a Veterinarian (and I always gave it the full name too...), specifically I wanted to be a Zoo Vet..
2. Did you follow through? If not, what happened?
Nope, realised I'd have to do lots of science subjects and do really really well in them and was realistic enough to know that my "special aptitude" didn't lie with the science side of things...
3. Is your life turning out the way you thought it would when you were a kid? If not, is it better or worse?
No it's not really... I thought when I was a kid I would get married when I was 24 (coz that's how old mum told me I had to be) and would have a whole bunch of babies and be a happy housewife and devoted mother who was ALWAYS there for her kids. Hehehe. I'm glad that didn't happen, this life is much better!
4. Paradoxes aside, if you could time-travel back to when you were 10 years old, what would you tell your 10-year-old self?
I'd tell her she was important, and beautiful, and smart. I'd tell her she didn't have to try and be what other people wanted her to be in order for them to like her. I'd tell her she was brave, and I'd tell her to not be so afraid.
5. Do you think the child you were, would like the adult you've become?
Yeah I think so. I think I managed to grow up into the kind of adult I never knew I wanted to be, or could be...
