I Dream Bigger Than That

Whenever someone asks me, “What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?”, my mind goes blank for a second. Just one day? That’s such a tiny window of time. How do you even experience a job fully in one day? I suppose if I really had to choose something fleeting and fun, maybe I’d like to be a baker, imagine starting the day in a cozy little pastel bakery, hands dusted in flour, shaping bread and piping frosting on cupcakes while the aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls fills the air. Or maybe I’d love to try being a professional badminton player for a day, feel the energy, the focus, the thrill of being on court, powerful smashes, applause echoing, and the adrenaline rush of a match point.

But to be honest, I’ve never been someone who thinks in “one-day” fantasies. I carry this quiet fire inside me that longs for deeper, longer stories, ones that take years to unfold. There are so many things I want to do, not just for a day, but for a lifetime.

I want to be a great therapist and counselor, someone who listens, truly listens, and helps others feel heard, safe, and understood. Mental health is something I hold close to my heart. I dream of having a quiet space where people can walk in feeling overwhelmed, and walk out feeling lighter, stronger, more seen. The idea of being that calm presence in someone’s storm, the person who helps them discover their own strength, that’s not a one-day thing. That’s a lifelong mission.

I also want to become a powerful author, someone whose words wrap around people like a warm hug, or maybe even stir them to tears, reflection, or healing. I want to write stories that matter, poetry, fiction, self-help, maybe even children’s books someday. There’s a little magic in every sentence, and I want to spend years chasing that magic, mastering it.

Then there’s my content creator dream, videos, reels, blogs, and podcasts filled with inspiration, honesty, mental health education, and the subtle beauty of everyday life. I want to build a community, a safe digital corner where people can exhale, smile, learn, or just feel less alone.

And painting, ah! I don’t even know if I’m good at it yet, but the idea of expressing my thoughts through colors and brushstrokes excites me. It’s so raw, so freeing. There’s something deeply meditative about painting, like speaking without words. I’d love to explore that world more seriously someday.

Lastly, I’ve been daydreaming about becoming a YouTuber, but not just for fame or trends. I want to create a gentle, soothing, mindful space on YouTube, where I share psychology concepts, life insights, artistic projects, and emotional healing tools. Maybe even storytime videos or mini-documentaries on mental health and self-growth.

So when people ask me what job I’d like to do for just a day, I honestly struggle to answer. My heart doesn’t beat for one-day thrills. It beats for long journeys, deep roots, and evolving purpose.

I guess I’m not looking for a role to try for a day. I’m building a life that feels like the sum of all these dreams, stitched together with hope, creativity, compassion, and healing. And maybe I won’t become everything at once. But I’m willing to take one small step at a time, every single day.

And maybe, just maybe, that’s more magical than anything I could do in a single day.
