where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I'm trying to remember if there was a time in the last 5 years when I had an answer to that question. I think I had one back in senior year, which was 4 years ago, I thought I was going to be studying abroad right now. Or 3 years ago when I thought I was going to be a junior in law school by now.

Well, things happened. I've changed. I don't want to say it didn't work out. I'd like to think that life had a better idea.

Plans pop into my head from time to time. But there was never really a thing that excites me more than the thought of still traveling 5 years into the future. Or having coffee with my wonderful superfriends. Or just having dinner with my family on a cold Baguio night.

I really don't know what and where I'm going to be 5 years from now. I could still be in finance or a different industry, I can be studying, or even have a family by then. Who the hell knows. Life is just exciting that way.

So if I am to answer that question, well not in a job interview setting, I'd probably say that I don't know. That's too far into the future. Life has taught me two important lessons in the last 5 years: (1) stress and worry are unnecessary emotions in life (2) to strive to be happy in the now and let Him do his Plan for me. :)
