What would I do if completely nothing was expected of me?
The list is not exhaustible, but let's narrow it down to afew.
Firstly, I would take up an acting career. Even though I can't act for nuts, it has been one of my childhood dreams to be an actress. I wanted it to such an extreme extent that I even tried to audition for a role in kids central. It was really epic because I was only Sec 1 or 2 at that time, and being the guai kia I was, I didn't travel much. Since I lived in bedok, and the audition was in shenton way, I got up super early, like at 7.30am, put on hideous makeup ( not exaggerating - I used eyeshadow as blusher - just a hint of how hideous it was ), took a 40mins bus ride to shenton way and couldn't find the place. In the end, by the time I got to the audition, the queue was so long, I decided to go home. And I was alone when everyone else was with their parents or something. Nevertheless, it has always been my dream to pursue a career in acting. But with circumstances now, it can only remain an idealistic dream.
Next, I would want to become a food blogger. Like ladyironchef. Eat all day, travel all the time and earn money. Sounds like the dream job eh. All of my favorite things together as one. May not be as far fetched as becoming an actress, but to reach to ladyironchef's level may be unattainable in this lifetime. But I shall still continue to update my blog with all the random cafes I go to, so stay tuned and support me :)
Travel. If I was not expected to work and support myself, I would definitely travel the world. Not only travel, I would want to settle in a country and get to know the culture there, live there for a prolonged period of time and write a documentary maybe. I would want to see everything, how living with the locals is like, learning their language, what they do everyday, what they eat, the clothes they wear, music they hear etc etc. It would be a huge eye opener, going to all the different countries, esp venice, paris, africa, new york city, maldives, cambodia, thailand.
Lastly, I would want a partner to go through all of this with me. Someone with the same life goals as me. Someone to encourage me when the going gets tough, a shoulder to lie on. To share the amazing things in life with someone else makes it even more special. If only, in the real world, nobody is expected to love someone a certain way, or look a certain way before they love each other.
If the world had no expectations of each other, it may be a chaotic world but a much more loving world.
