In my early twenties I made a couple of simple websites built on WordPress as freelance projects. I never believed I’d make any serious money writing and so I thought that when I’m older and I’ve figured out the making money part of my life I’ll do some serious writing. I thought I could write more things good enough to put out into the world at some point in my life. There was actual prize money and they mailed me a cheque. I once made a submission to a science fiction short story writing competition and I won second prize. I’ve enjoyed writing since then but I’ve never done enough of it. I first started this blog in 2005 on Xanga.
It’s because this is somewhat similar to what I currently do (which is run an ecommerce website), that I still think of it as an achievable option. I could probably still do this if I was to leave my current job and be underpaid for a couple of years.
I think I’m still pretty sharp with these skills. When I was in college I’d gotten pretty good at algorithms and AI for puzzle games and I thought I could build a career around that. I was gifted Feynman’s Lectures on Physics many years ago and I still haven’t read them. This too seems only a remote possibility at the moment. Around eighteen I was really good at maths and physics and I thought I’d go study at an IIT and spend a decent amount of my life doing research and other science stuff. I have since given up on these two as career options. I only ever learned to do an Ollie, which I think I could still pull off with a few days of practise.

When I was around sixteen I considered growing up to be a professional skateboarder or a professional gamer. There have been many things that I thought I could develop into serious career options over the years.
