When I was in college I was so sure of what I wanted to be. When people ask me where I would see myself five years at that moment, I would say the ff things:

1. Have my own apartment
2. Have a good paying job
3. Be independent
4. Be a team leader or a supervisor
5. Have a savings account

Don't get me wrong, I have all of these things now, and I am very thankful. Though the road getting all those things had not been easy. I've had lots of jobs, been through a lot of supervisors, have been in gazillion hours worth of stress.

But now, after everything that has happened, I'm quite unsure of what I want or where I want to be five years from now. Five years from now, I'll be 28. Yes I'm quite young to be thinking of what I wanted to do, or be serious.

I'm quite unsure of where I want to be. I don't know, but hopefully I figure things out. Maybe I'm just burned out by everything that has been happening around me. Maybe its because things are going too fast and happening too soon. I'm probably living my life in the fast lane that sometimes all that is left are tire tracks.

By the way, I'm at my mom's house getting some R and R, and it made me think, what do I want to be and where would I want to be five years from now.

Oh well, I'll figure it out.

Cheers,
Jackie

    It sounds as if you've done well at accomplishing the 5 year goals.  Do you suppose it might be time to take a break for a year or so to rest before setting the next set of goals?  Life is not all about the goals, but also about the journey :)

    uniquely-ironic. Thank you very much. Actually, I want to take a break, but not that long. Maybe after my term in my current company, if ever that I won't pass my probationary status, I'll take a rest, but just for a month, maybe that's enough rest for me, and probably think about what I want to do for the next five years.

    "Life is not all about the goals, but also about the journey :)". This is so true. In the process where I had achieved those goals, I met a lot of people, seen lots of situations, and I've come out differently each and every time. I am surprised that at my 23 years, things have been going quite fast. But I'm very thankful for each opportunity that came to my way.

    queenparanoia. Which reminds me of a song by Jem, "It's Just a Ride". Life is indeed full of surprises, there are some things that I didn't plan on happening TOO SOON, like transferring from one company to another, like getting an instant savings account, or being a supervisor. The five year plan was shortened to 3 because it happened too soon, and now I find myself wandering, why is this going too fast? What's the catch?

    It was just like yesterday, when my major problem was how to get an A in a class, and now things aren't as simple as that.

    So right now, I'll most probably focus on TODAY, such as finishing the Phase 1 of our project, having fun with JC, bonding with my family. I'll figure things out soon enough, but now, I'll focus on the present for it is a gift of the past. =)

    Thank you everyone,
    Jackie
