Paul Prieto
Paul was an engineer and has founded a startup who sells expensive coffee filters in California.
But...
Paul wishes he was a Policeman
It’s a dream he had as a kid, and he never ceased to dream about it. He’s never told anyone since he’s 12, because he thinks his friends will find him stupid. But Paul thinks policemen are heros. He want to protect people in a uniform, too.
Paul thinks that if he was a policeman, he would have to dye his hair dark, because he’s afraid people won’t take him seriously with a rad mustache.
On Sundays, Paul reads poetry about policemen.
Goodbye boys in blue
What is that wonderful sound It’s coming from the cemetery ground Sounds like bagpipes from a military tattoo A large number of people gathered wearing blueIt’s a police funeral conducted in a military fashion Marching in line with pride and passion They are saying goodbye to their fallen comrade All performed with the precision of a military paradeAn observer cannot feel anything but proud To have touched the life of the person in the funeral shroud To give your life in such a way Heroic to the end, the supreme price to payThe dedication of the boys in blue To sacrifice their lives for you They are eternally in your debt The sacrifice, you do not regret
Glynn Withey

Dana is a graphic designer who loves to draw pink unicorns but is never asked to.
But...
Dana wishes she was a doctor
She doesn’t want to practice and have patients to cure, she only wants to write her own prescriptions. She hates going to the PhD and she knows perfectly what medication to take. Don’t worry, she would write yours, too.
Dana thinks doctors should at least sell the drugs too, even if she admits that could degenerate fast.
Every Wednesday, Dana watches outdated zombie movies.
Just never pick Dana for your bowling team.

Catherine wishes she was flying
Oh she doesn’t want to be a pilot, she’s bored driving her car already. But she always admired flight attendents, their smile and availability. She fantasize about their lifstyle, she’s watched “Catch me if you can” a dozen of times and she’s bought a vintage flight attendant suitcase fro a Pan Am sale on the seb
Catherine thinks this is in her DNA, that they would give her a position after one day of training. Of course, they wouldn’t. She’s not tall enought to work in a plane and she doesn’t know.
When she walks on a sunny day, she sings this:
I cannot live peacefully without you for even a moment I miss you terribly when you're away he's away this ain't right I'm alone I'm taking an aeroplane across the world to follow my heart!
