Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
WordPress has a daily prompt. I decided to use these prompts to pass the time when I’m waiting in the car, doctor’s office, etc., instead of doom-scrolling. Although I won’t do this every day, I will do it occasionally. This is a brief text that is often written entirely on the phone.
Today’s wait is: getting lunch at Chick-fil-A.
And here is today’s subject: Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Retired. I would be a retired teacher.
If blogging is still a thing, then this will be my full-time job. I would watch all the movies, read all the books, travel as much as possible, and watch my daughter grow into a young woman. My little one is six right now. She will be 16 in 10 years. It would be great to be there for her and anything that she needed.
I would try to write about the things that I did during the day to keep my brain occupied. I would try to cook all the dishes I have never cooked before, especially cajun and Italian dishes. In particular, I would work my way through Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking by Marcella Hazan.
I’m fairly certain that one thing I would see myself doing in ten years is learning a musical instrument. I’ve never really tried and would love to know. I really want to start the summer as a project with my little one. Santa brought her a keyboard this Christmas, so why not start before I retire?
I would just be enjoying life. And if the blog made no money, that would be ok.
I would be a stay-at-home dad.
