Tuesday April 2, 2024 | Journal prompt: What did you want to be when you grew up?

Well I wanted to be a dancer on flashdance. I used to fantasize back in the 80s about being a dancer on flashdance and imagine that I did not have selective mutism or auditory processing.  Then I imagined myself as a singer and an actress on a tv show or movie.  I don't think that is even possible now.  No one will even take me on in their acting class.  None of my family members think that I can talk to be able to do that and they think that can't get ready on time.  They think that I am slow and could be late all the time.
