Where Do You See Yourself In 10 Years

It's always a question that you're asked throughout your life.

Where Do You See Yourself In 10 Years
surprisse.com

It's always a question that you're asked throughout your life. Where do you see yourself in x amount of years? I remember being young and in elementary school saying that I wanted to be married and having a family by a certain age and being a teacher or doctor.

Now that I'm getting through my second year of college, every year is flying by and 10 years from now seems more and more unclear. I'll be graduating in two years, hopefully getting a good job, possibly moving somewhere that isn't New York or New Jersey, and maybe even still in my current relationship.

It's always such a weird thing to imagine your future self. Of course everyone plans on having a good life. No one wants or for sees going down a bad path. You just have to start being realistic. You have to give up wanting to be a princess and king to become the successful man or woman.

In ten years I will be almost 30 years old. In ten years, I hope to be happy. I hope that I am a kind, forgiving, selfless, and successful person. That is who I want to be as a person. I would like to have a good job where I'm helping others while inspiring them. I would like to be married by then with the love of my life who makes it exciting to come home everyday. Maybe I'll have some kids of my own by then, maybe not. Time will only tell.

It's exciting but also scary to think about things like this. I never thought I would be in New York for college when I was a freshman in high school. I didn't think I would be working towards my bachelors degree in public health. I sure would have never seen myself being in a relationship for over a year now. It's all so exciting to have these things happening at the moment, but I never truly know who or where I'll be in the future, or even where I want to be in ten years.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
