What have you always wanted to be/do but haven’t been able to?

[Ghostinplainsight]

i've always wanted to work in solving crimes but more on the forensic side. Autopsies and crime scene examination, things like that. However recently, i've been very into the reexamination and solving of cold cases and i think that is an area i would like to dedicate my life to, if i had a perfect redo.

How about you?

I wanted to be better at what I do do (creative job.) I've also had crazy limerent crushes on guys in the past. I really wanted to be their partner. Most of all, I wanted to combine the two. Marry someone creative and work together towards something. Probably my most consistent wish though has been to die!

That's a very interesting job though OP. Challenging in lots of ways though, I imagine. The distress of witnessing certain scenes, the desire to solve the crime and provide closure to the families. I wonder if there's a lot of pressure to solve the crime in a certain timescale. Obviously, everyone is working to budgets. I am very fascinated by unsolved cases myself but I don't think I'd have the patience/ intelligence to work things out.

So, are you like an armchair detective OP? They fascinate me too. Ever heard of the disappearance of Marion Barter? The case was very poorly handled by police at the time which led to years passing before much was really done. It was literally 'amateurs' that later picked up on pretty disturbing leads. It's still unsolved though but, it's a puzzling case. I listened to a whole podcast on it. Summer Wells was another one that stayed with me. There's always this hope that the truth will be discovered sone day. It's got to be terrible for the families.
