Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Frankly, I don't know the answer to that particular question. I can tell you things that I want for my life, but I can't tell you if I will accomplish/attain them in a ten year time span. I'll be 33 in ten years. Jeeze. I remember when I was little and thinking 15 would never come. Well, it did and it went faster than I can wrap my mind around. Where will I be when I'm in my thirties? I hope I'll be in the theatre still. I hope I'll be teaching acting. I hope I'll have my own little bungalow. I won't mind if I'm married by then. I don't think I'll have any kids by that point but I'll be considering it, I'm sure. I hope to be out west. Washington, Oregon or Colorado. I'll have my MFA. Period. Do I want great success? Not necessarily. I just want to be happy. That's basically all I hope for. Happiness and whatever that encompasses. Maybe I'm an idealist, so what? It's the idealists who make changes happen. MLK, for example. He didn't blindly accept the world as it was and he changed it. I refuse to let how hard life is change my hope for happiness. I'm aware of the downsides but why should they outweigh the upsides? We count our misfortunes with great care and effort but we blindly accept our blessings. In ten years, I'll be happy but I'm not going to wait ten years to start trying.
