"we know who we are, but we don't know who we can be" — or how i almost became a ballerina (and president to boot)
id: 10052353

But who we can be — here the circus with fireworks begins 🎪✨

As a child, I thought I would be a ballerina.
True, I had a mild form of coordination apocalypse, and my "pas de deux" was more like wrestling with a chair. The ballerina didn't come out.

Then I decided that I would become president. Well, what can I do — I like to talk, I like order, and I am always ready to nod with a smart face. But then I realized that I can't stand a dress code and I don't know how to diplomatically remain silent. It didn't work out to be president either.

And so, going from "who to be" to "who it happened to be", I realized:
we often limit ourselves to familiar labels.
"I'm an accountant", "I'm a mother", "I'm a person who is always late".
But inside us there are a thousand unlaunched rockets 🚀

Today you are an Excel spreadsheet specialist. And tomorrow you will kiss life on the lips and go to Nepal to cook soup in the mountains.
Or you will start a channel about cats.
Or you will write a novel about how you became a TikTok star at 50.

Who knows who we can be?
Maybe there is a director, a philosopher, a culinary genius or a crazy florist inside you, ready to create a bouquet of cacti and broccoli?

The main thing is not to limit yourself to who you were.
Because we're not Wi-Fi - rebooting won't make things worse 😄
