I really want to develop a movie career sometime. It's sort of my dream to make movies.

I have the same dream. I'm particularly interested in soundtracks.

Being an author I always loved writing still do I'm working on a story now anyways ... The higher the grade I'm getting into the more I realized in ELA that ohh boy there's a lot you have to do with writing so for right now I have no clue if in the future I will ever write for the public. (And yes I know I'm young i got a while still though)

I used to write poetry, sketch, and make dreamcatchers and mandalas. I have had trouble finding words when I need them due to lesions in my brain related to multiple neuropathies. My hands do not work they way they used to so it's very hard to hold a pencil even to write my name, let alone do anything artistic. I can still make a fair dreamcatcher, though it takes me ages to do. It's very frustrating when your body betrays you.

I wanted to work on my specialty and maybe do research. I have need to make peace with that I will never do that.

I'd wanted to be an artist, and was a dedicated sketch artist and painter when I was young, but I gave up on the dream of quitting my job to be a full-time painter, because the economics would mean that I'd have to paint what would sell instead of what interested me, and the income would be so unsteady that it's almost impossible to be a full-time artist without a prosperous and indulgent spouse or a trust fund. So what with one thing and another, I decided that it wouldn't do to follow my dream, and really, it was more important to save lives than to create decorative objects. So now I work in healthcare and am very proud of my accomplishments, and draw and do wildlife photography in my spare time.
