When you wear my flower, you make it beautiful.
So last night I was feeling nostalgic and I started going through my old things; papers, pictures, things like that. It got me thinking that where I am today isn't really where I expected myself to be even as short as four years ago. I knew I'd be in college, but there was a time when I swore I'd never go to the school I'll be attending. Still, I've decided that I really love where my life is and seems to be heading right now, it's better than the plans I had for myself.

I'm curious; are you where you thought you would be?

Nowhere near, and it's slightly depressing. But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't change it.

These are examples of the reason I don't think ahead to plan things like that...

Like when people ask "Where do you see yourself in X years?" my answer is always "I don't."

I just feel that thinking in that manner as well as actually trying to label and foresee your life will ultimately only lead you to second guess yourself and/or resent what has happened. Life is far too unpredictable to try and foresee something that may or may not even occur. I just can't bring myself to do that.

Considering how my life has went, I understand precisely why I think the way I do...

It's wonderful that your plans have all worked out for you. Always nice to see someone realizing their dreams. :)

Most people I know my age don't have any plans, so you're ahead and the curve. :P

I'm 19, bit late to start having plans but since I graduated in June, it's time. xD Almost have a job, going on a job interview on Thursday (10AM omgwhat?) and HOPEFULLY it turns out well. It's not the job I want but it's a start and in the meantime I can go look for another job. ^.^

I'm 19 too, and a bunch of my friends are juggling majors, putting off school, or just waiting it out until they have an idea. :P

I don't think most people start out at the job they want to stay at. I know I sure as hell don't want to work at an office for the rest of my life; I feel sick knowing I'll be there for at least three years. But, good luck with your interview. :)

Well, I didn't do college or university so yeah... And doing nothing ... well I'd love to but my mom won't let me. :#

The interview is in some kind of mega store xD They sell everything really. So yeah, not what I studied for. Will look for something better but if it goes great, I'll at least have money since my mom stopped giving me allowance... :o

Anddddddd when I do have the job, all the other plans come to work. Car, finances, ...

Same for me, but I can't afford a car even with my job. >.< But I'll be in my own place soon, so it's a step in the right direction. :)

My mom would buy a car and then I'd repay her in bits and pieces. xD

Lucky. :P The deal in my family has always been that if the kid supplies $2000 the parents will do the rest. But, between school, rent and bills I don't have that $2000, let alone the insurance I'd have to pay after. D:

That's true. My boyfriend will be able to give me rides when I need them, and I don't mind walking so I'm not too concerned about getting one right now.
