My case is something of an interesting one, or perhaps it's the most boring thing you've ever known.
My calling, and I think I can honestly call it a calling, has always been acting. It's not the attention or fame that comes from being on stage I love, it's the experience of it, the work, the feeling I get when I'm in a performance. I just love the world too much, haha. I think, if I could do one thing, and only one thing for my entire life, it would be acting.
While I can't call it a career just yet as I've yet to take so much as the first step, I think that in the future my career will be in writing. As much joy as acting brings me, I've lately been forced to accept that I probably don't have what it takes to make it out there in the world. On the other hand, I consider myself a fine writer, and could very much see myself doing it for a living. Maybe not as some sort of brilliant novelist, I don't know if I'm quite insane enough for that, but even just writing for TV and film would be alright with me. I wouldn't say I'd be sacrificing my true calling either, I do genuinely enjoy putting action and dialogue together and making story.
My dream? Well, at this stage, I would just love to be able to create something people would love. I'm not saying I want to make tons of hits and get the acclaim of everyone and bring in tons of money. Of course, I wouldn't reject that notion, but the thing I want more than anything else is just for someone, some audience, to experience the things I write, whatever those are, and be able to get something out of it, to feel something. If I can write something that could make somebody say, "this work changed me," then I think I could honestly die happy. A secondary dream is to be able to be at a point in my life where I can spend most of my day at theatres, as an actor or a playwright or whatever, and be able to make money from it. That'd just be the grandest thing.
I dunno, that's where I'm at now.
