Hi! I'm SBG.

I love writing. I want to write a fiction book one day - preferably several. I've always loved writing.

But I don't want to be an author.

I love theater - I spend 2 hours a week doing that and I've acted since I was 9.

But I don't want to become an actor.

I want to be a scentist. I want to work in a lab - and then some day have a lab full of wonderful amazing smart people who I mentor and help.

When I was 7 my mom got a payed position as a PhD student (those positions are payed in Sweden.). When I was off school she would take me to the town were she worked and I would sit among mountains of papers and tea-cups and desks and smart people.

I would sometimes help with busywork like envelopes and stuff.

When my mother did testing (measuring fat on babies) I would come with and sit quietly and read or write or draw.

I would eat lunch with these amazing scientists who were so intelligent and I would be included in conversation.

My mom has now done her postdoc - that was why I was in the US - but she still talks with the people from her lab.

Two of them got married. (To each other) And two babies. The maternity and paternity leave is why they are still PhD students. They are getting their doctorates this summer I think.

Their kids are adorable. They are so, so, so cute.

Since I was 5 I've wanted to be a microbiologist/something along the lines of that. I love writing and creating but I want that to be my hobby, my way to de-stress - not my day job.

I don't think that makes me an artist. I see artists as people who want to spend every day and their whole life dedicated to their art.

I don't. I want to still write - but if I'm not writing fiction because I'm writing scientific articles I'll be fine with that.
