I mean, Doug and I have joked about how we'll tell our kids about how we used to slay dragons, but the second we step into the real world, what would I have to tell them? I used to be an adventurer, but got boring? I - the die-hard feminist - pretty much walked out of university and into domestic life because nothing else landed on my door step? How goddamned cruddy am I?
First off, you're not cruddy.
Second off, why not tell them why you made these decisions? Tell them why you gave up adventuring - moral principles, boredom, people you no longer wanted to adventure with etc. Tell them why you walked out of University - life was tough, so you had to make a tough decision.
I'm pretty sure that kids are more interested in the question of 'why' rather than 'what'. At least I was, when I was little.
