“I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed.” That’s Lloyd Dobler, played by John Cusack in Say Anything, explaining his future plans to his girlfriend’s father.

’tis the season of graduations, transitions and celebrations
when people
little and big
complete their
middle school, high school, college, post-grad
school years
they will be asked
many times
what do you want to do next?
most do not yet have an answer
or
will come up with
whatever comes to mind
they just need a minute
to take a breath
look back
at what they’ve done
enjoy the moment
exactly where they are
just a little bit longer

‘Say Anything,’ (1989) is my favorite teen rom-com-drama movie
the movie follows the romance between Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack), an average student, and Diane Court (Ione Skye), the class valedictorian, immediately after their graduation from high school.
in 2002, Entertainment Weekly named Say Anything the best modern romance film, and in 2012, ranked it number 11 on its list of the “50 Best High School Movies.”

I really didn’t know what I wanted to do … I became an Industrial Chemist, but in my heart I wanted to be a Plumber like my dad … circumstances and situations changed when I was 28, and all of a sudden I was a Plumber working with my dad …

I think I only wanted to be a wife and a mother but not allowed to say , I lived my studies in university and being lucky to get good jobs after it and kept going till I decided it was time to follow my heart without shame. So I miss my career , at times, but only briefly😉
