When I was 20 and people asked what I wanted out of life, I could tell them, right down to the smallest detail. I used to always plan everything ahead of time. Since I gave everything a lot of thought, my plans usually worked out. I knew what I wanted out of life, and I knew how to work for it.
The one thing that I never planned on is what I would do if I lost everything. So when I actually did lose everything.....well, I was screwed. Years of hard work, all for nothing.
Due to recent job interviews and repeatedly being asked "Where do you see yourself in five years?", I've been thinking about it lately. I have no idea where I'll be, and beyond a vague hope that I'll be happy, I don't really care. Its kind of freeing in a way, I feel less burdened. But I also feel lost and directionless, like my life has no meaning.
So what about everyone else? Do you know where you'll be in life five years from now, or do you think it's better to live for today?
