Predicting a decade?

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I dislike this question so much that I made a stupid TikTok about it a few years ago (I no longer post on TikTok, for a multitude of reasons- but if I find the video I’ll link it below).

The date on this photo is 8/18/2014 – so almost 10 years ago! Thank God I’m not blonde anymore 🤣

This is honestly one of the most loathed questions anyone could ask me ever, especially whenever they ask it during job interviews.

Bitch, I don’t know. If I was asked this 10 years ago, I wouldn’t have ever been able to give you a proper answer on where my life was headed.

And so on it goes.

No one could ever have their life planned out to the exact T, year by year.

The universe does some funny stuff too- “oh, so you think this? Welp! Nope, I’m gonna show you different, you motherfucker.

Sorry, I just got off working overnight and I’m a bit exhausted. Yesterday didn’t exactly help either. 😂

I seriously started my journey practicing several years ago, (I’ve always been into spirituality) but I never would’ve imagined I’d be where I am now. I have to remind myself every single day to be mindful. The present is a gift, after all.

No one can predict 10 years from now what they’ll be doing.

It’s a literal void space.

Hopes? Dreams? Sure.

But the path in years time? That could change a zillion times over in the course of a decade.

A couple weeks? A month? Maybe.

And that’s only if we have a really strong connection.

Oh look, I found the video!

Don’t click if you’re offended by words, please 😊

Happy weekend, all!

      • It’s great. I loved Tiktok so much at first, because of just silly videos that didn’t take much editing or polishing but could be spontaneous and fun. Now my feed is ads, just slightly more clever ads than insta.

      • 😂 yeah I signed in just to retrieve the video. And OMG, the ads. Click click click. I used to really love it too. The funny videos are the best. Curious if you ever post? Might have to add you on there! 😊

      • I have a friend who has a pretty good following on tiktok, talking about all kinds of philosophical things. So I thought I would jump in like he did, but I’m way too self-conscious! My account there is stephbecause.

      • Haha nice! That sounds like a great way to do videos. I probably would love to do something like that. You’d be great at it! Heading over to add you shortly after my morning coffee here 😆

  1. I always thought that I was alone in hating that question. lol. You are so right, though! Life doesn’t turn out how we plan it. I certainly never planned on being where I am at this point in my life, but here we are…

    • Here we are, most definitely! 😊 thank you for your comment, and you’re certainly not alone in your thinking at all. It’s a loathsome question, as if everything in our lives is completely planned out step by step, from the very beginning. Ugh 😩
