Getting Closer to Your Dreams

[MahiMahi]

Guys I have this strange feeling like a sense of pride for myself in a good way, im at a moment in my life where I feel like everything I’ve worked so hard for it actually paying off. Now im not trying to spill out a sob story but I have not had the best life or stability so ive had to do practically everything by myself except rare moments i get help from my brother. However this past year and 2026 have been a great start. My dream career is to become a fighter pilot in the Airforce and ive built myself and personality around military aircraft’s and they have been very impactful in my life in helping me get where I feel secured. This past year I completed 500+ hours of community service at a local air museum, got a job at said local air museum and have been offered an internship at Lockheed Martin already. Im supposed to be getting my drone license at the end of this year along with my pilot license. I can’t help but feel so insanely proud of myself, along with these accomplishments i have started slowly getting into photography with aircraft’s and have had the amazing opportunities of doing close up shoots with the blue angels and even getting to meet the crew. Whenever I walk on base to start my job, all of my coworkers are so happy to work with me and the vibe is amazing. Something about being hands on with the aircraft’s and getting upper hand experience is phenomenal, I can’t help but feel like I’m actually taking my first big steps to my end goal and im just really happy. Happy doesnt sound like the right word because I am like beyond happy this feeling is extraordinary like I actually have motivation to do things and im actually starting to look forward to the future a lot more and pushing through. Im also having this feeling of like reverse nostalgia because im realizing that im actually getting older and the future im dreaming of is closer than I think it is Idk whats going on in your guys lives but do share please, I don’t know how to explain this feeling and hope some of you understand!! I would love to hear about your guys future plans an your experience with this very feeling im feeling because I refuse to believe im alone
