Future Me

Daily writing prompt
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

This one is hard for me, because honestly, I have no idea. In ten years, i will be almost 43 with a 19 year old son, an 18 year old daughter and a 14 year old daughter. I’m just now starting to finally understand myself better. Learning who I am every day. In ten years there is no telling what could be going on in our lives for me to make this assumption.

I will say I would like to have been in college at least four years by then. Be working with animals in any way I can, hopefully in a way to make their futures better and to increase species instead of them continuing to decrease. I will hopefully have a better relationship with my father by then, and possibly his new soon to be wife. I want to be in a better place finacially by then. Absolutely. I’ve been working on that lately already. We are finally in a place where I can put money back for saving because we are actually living paycheck to paycheck. Most people say those words but what they actually mean is the check runs out a few days before pay day and they are scrubbing to get by. Trust me, I know what they mean. I’ve been in that position the majority of my life, and I can tell you that right now is the only time our checks have actually lasted past the next payday. I see myself driving my 14 year old around everywhere so she can hangout with friends. Haha. I don’t know, it’s a while from now and it’s honestly hard to see anything. It’s too soon to tell, I guess.
