Day 2- 30 day challenge
Where you’d like to be in 10 years?
In 10 years, I’d be 38. It’s an age that I’m struggling to fathom.
I’m hoping to have been retired (hahaha yeah I am all for early retirement) and embracing motherhood.
I’m over the whole 9-5 rat race, it’s just not for me.
I really admire women who are capable of balancing work and motherhood. I know I cannot do such a balancing act. I hope to be able to stay home and be there for my children. As a child, my parents were busy working and supporting us and had no choice about this. I remember being really sad when neither of my parents could go to any event at school- I don’t want my children to ever feel this way. By no means do I blame my parents, I understand that both needed to work as times were tough when I was growing up.
But if I do have to work because we can’t financially afford for myself to stay home, then I’d be working part time or a really mundane full time job where I’d be able to leave and not have to stress about work itself.
I also hope to move from the family home by then. For those who don’t know- After we’ve married, Mr_54632 is moving into our family home.
Partly to save money, and now more than anything- to support my parents, especially my mum who’s battling cancer as we speak. Who knows how she will be in the future.
After being touched by cancer, I’ve learnt that you can’t plan that far into the future… you can only live each day as it comes because tomorrow will always be different
