Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

View all responses

I’ve learned over the years to never look back or ahead but rather to focus on what’s happening in the present. This came about following years of anger and resentment when reminiscing about things in the past that bothered me but are no longer relevant in the future. On the other hand, I do not like to look too far ahead in the future as plans I make may end up falling through and I may be disappointed if things don’t work out the way they were supposed to. Having said that, I would like to remain exactly where I am in the present 10 years from now and definitely after that as I am very comfortable with my setup. Hopefully mom’s good health will continue for well past that amount of time and I really love the place I live in. Maybe by that point I might even have a girlfriend. The one thing I regret about 10 years from now is that I will be in my 40’s at that point and approaching middle age. I can honestly say that I cannot picture myself ever getting old. This is something that I guess happens to everybody though. I just hope I’m as happy as I am now when that time comes.

Pretty much, I’m already right where I want to be ten years from now. I don’t want or need much to change except for my relationship status. I’ve been single for way too long.
