To say life hasn't turned out the way I expected is an understatement. Life is so far off from where I thought it would be, it's almost on a different planet. And I've always believed things in life happen for a reason, even if it's something completely heartbreaking and doesn't seem fair.
As I sit here writing this, I'm kind of in shock. When I was little, I had a dream of being a pastry chef. That dream hid itself, being replaced by becoming a famous actress. I was going to marry some hot actor I had a crush on (*ahem* Christian Bale) and live in a huge Beverly Hills mansion with our 3 adorable kids.
Well, I joined the military at 17 and traveled the world for 12 years. I had a kid and never got married (because Christian Bale was already taken and my heart was broken, of course). I decided I never wanted to live in California.
Irony of all ironies, here I am at 30, living in California. Not quite the place I expected, but it's beautiful, nonetheless. My daughter gets the best of both worlds: me and her dad all the time. Still not married, but if my mom has her say, that's not going to last much longer. And I'm going to culinary school to become a pastry chef.
