5 Year Plan.
Hey again, so... I've had a lot of things running though my mind recently, and they all seem to be focusing around the future and my confusion with what it holds. It has left me feeling like I need to get some organisation into my life and the first thing I thought was "I need to write this all down"... So here we are. I hope you enjoy!
So, firstly! I want to have moved house before I turn 22. I've lived in my house for a year now and I cant deny it, I do love this place. The only thing that I'm starting to realise is that its a little small. Don't get me wrong, I don't need much space with it being just me living here, but if I'm thinking about the future, I know I will eventually need a bigger space to progress my life. I currently live in a one-bedroom house, and it's definitely enough for now - but if I get a career that involved paperwork or marking etc. I want to have an office or a space big enough so my house doesn't get crammed full of paper and documents. I've not really looked at other places yet as I'm only 19 and not exactly in a stable job that id be able to afford a mortgage yet so I've been putting it off. I know id have to sell my house first which would be a perfect deposit on a house, but I want to make sure that my next house just right for me as I want my next house to be somewhere that I love and a place where I can start my future. I want to be able to look back at this blog when I hit 22 and see if I have achieved this.
Next, I want to have started a career that involves my degree by the time I turn 22. Although this is only 2 years away (ish, 2 years and 5 months to be exact), I know that it would be something I want to work towards. My degree is English Language, so I know I could apply it to a vast variety of jobs but I want to find one that I can make a career and not just a 'job'. I think I want to go into something like being a receptionist, HR department or office administration as I love the idea of having an office job and being able to write emails and work with clients. It's a dream for me. I just hope that within the next 2 years, I find myself a career path that I can continue in for my working life.
One thing I want to do before I turn 23 is own a black Audi A3. I've had my eyes set on one of these since I was 18 and my god! I want one! I currently drive a Volvo C30 R Design, and I do love it, but nothing will compare to an Audi... I'm hoping that by the time I reach 23, I can own one of these and put my private reg on it and feel like a baller, although I'll just be normal me pretending to be the piece that I really am not...
By the time I turn 24, I want to be in a strong relationship. I know this is a 'cliché' thing to say, but its true. I know life always has its weird turns and events, but I'm just hoping that by this point in my life, I can have a boyfriend who is there for me, and doing well for himself. I know that most people say 'I want someone 'who is there for me all the time blah blah blah' but for me, I have other things that I want from my partner. I want to be with someone who is happy with their life. As cryptic as that sounds, I just want to be with someone who is happy to be himself, as much as he's happy to be with me. I want to be with someone who is funny, can have a laugh, wants to work towards a goal but also isn't afraid to wing it and just someone who shares similar interests to me. I would stand by him through everything, and happiness is the overall thing for me, but if they're not happy, I want to be able to work with them to make them feel happier and be a support network for them. I don't just want a boyfriend, I want a partner. I am in a fairly new relationship now, and I do see it lasting until this time period if it carries on like it is now, and I hope it does (obviously), but I feel like these are all important things to me!
The next thing I want to be THINKING ABOUT (not doing...) by the time I reach 24 is kids. I have thought about this a lot recently and keep thinking I'm ready... But then I sit down and think about things, like my house space, job, stability, and just realise I'm actually not ready just yet. Obviously, things happen in life and if it happens before, then OK, if it happens after, then ok! I want to be in a good position where I know I could provide for a baby before I jump into the deep end and actually have a baby... I'm not too sure how many I want or if I even can do it. I keep thinking 2, maybe 3 depending on how good I am as a mum. I know that's a really shit thing to say, but I'm terrified that I will be a terrible mum because I'm selfish. I think its just because of my age, that I think id prefer to go out or go for meals etc, but I do know that I'm caring and would give a baby everything I possibly could. I want this to be a later goal for me because, as you can probably tell from the frantic writing, I have no idea what I truly want or when I want it.
I can't think of anything else major that I want to achieve within the next few years lifestyle wise, but there are many little things that I would love to do before I settle down. I'm going to write a post about these things that's different from this one, but that is mainly it!
I hope you've enjoyed the little read of this, It's mainly just a ramble of what's been on my mind for the past few months and it has really helped me getting it all down in words so I can look back on this in the future, and see if I'm still in the same mind set as I am now!
Speak to you later,
