So your secret is that you're normal? Who doesn't have a dream of being successful in some form of art or entertainment instead of doing the average job they do now?

[(Anonymous)]

Lots of people daydream about those things, but they're not eaten up inside with regret. I'm not, for example. Why would you think that was normal?

[(Anonymous)]

"Normal" doesn't mean "literally every person in the world feels this way." It means that it's in no way odd to feel this way. This is why the saying is "It's better to regret the things that things that you did, than the things you didn't do." Or YOLO, if you prefer.

I'm currently in middle of a memoir written by a woman who did something that I wish I had done at her age. I had a chance to do a minor version of it recently and, in fact, I found out that it didn't quite suit me and it probably would have been even worse if I'd done the full version. But as I read the book I can't help but feel incredibly jealous.

(I would stop reading the book but I got it for free in exchange for a review so I feel obligated to finish it.)

There's a huge difference between feeling regret for things you wish you'd done and it "slowly killing [you] inside". That is not normal, and it is odd because it's frankly, rather alarming.

Uh, I've never wanted to be involved in art or entertainment. Ever. Not everyone has that dream.

You are a rare bird. Probably half the people I know want to write books. I know people who: wanted to be an actor; wanted to be a Broadway lighting technician; wanted to be a dancer; wanted to be an illustrator; wanted to be an editor; wanted to be a journalist.

Literally one person became a graphic designer and nobody else came close to close to realizing their dreams.

Hmmm. I do think everyone has fantasy jobs, just not always the same fantasy jobs? My job fantasies always involved saving people's lives. Things like doctor or firefighter. Also vulcanologist because volcanoes are cool.

I don't, and nor does anyone I know...
