I wonder where I will be 5 years from now. That's always the stupid question they ask you on job interviews, right? But for some reason lately I have been thinking more about my "future". My future typically meant next week, or maybe a month ahead, but now I am starting to think more long term. Maybe it's because I have more aspects of my life in order, or just that I am getting older and starting to see how fast time flies by even if you don't plan a path for yourself and carve out your place in this life. I believe that I could pretty much be doing anything with my life five years from now, or doing exactly what I am right now (which would be A-OK, I am not complaining). I could be at the same job in this city or I could transfer to another city, I could have left my job here to take another one, I could be a mom to a son or daughter, or still a mommy to my cat Alice (she's enough of a handful!), I could be living in my same apartment, or have left here for other, perhaps greener, pastures.
Five years ago I was still in the first job I took after law school. I'm on my third job now, and went from poor to being able to buy a place, move in and make it my home. I've had a couple of boyfriends, made new friends and lost some old ones. With everything I've been through and done in the last five years, it has me wondering where I'll be five years from now. I guess figuring out where I want to be is the first step to making sure I get there, but figuring that out is the hard part.

Five years. It's probably going to be one of those, "If you told me 5 years ago my life would be like this..."

I've lived a lifetime in the last 3 or 4.....so i can only imagine what the next 5 will bring.....
It really is amazing what can happen in 5 years! You never know where the future will lead
5 years ago I was married and begining to realize that it wasnt going to work out. I hope the next 5 years I will be more happier.
