Ten years from now, I'd be 30 years old. The fact that I'm 20 right now amazes me enough. So, becoming 30 one day doesn't seem too out of reach.
I'd love to be living in some type of condo in the middle of New York City. (I want to live in some type of urban environment, but doesn't NYC sound amazing? It's always been my dream.) I'd be far away from my inevitable years of internship at assorted magazines and television stations and I'd have some type of stable job writing for a publication. Maybe I could have my own publication?
I was always so frustrated as a kid because I used to be in love with magazines like Seventeen, Teen Vogue, and NYLON. But, I never really found anyone that looked like me in those magazines. It's obvious that they don't have a lot of diversity in their writers. Even in some of the articles (the ones that are reaching for attention from someone besides the average teenage white girl that they usually cater to) on their website you can see how glaringly out of the loop they are. So, my publication would surely benefit little girls like me that are looking for someone to look up to and emulate. I'm tryna look out for all my little Nias out there. <3
At 30, I'd hope that I'd be married. I'd finally be out of this strenuous, ridiculous dating scene and I'd be settled down with someone who loves me and wants to look out for me no matter what. Some Bonnie & Clyde type stuff...you know without all the killing and illegal-ness and what not. I hope he's tall...funny...and someone that I'm comfortable with. A girl can dream.
And of course, with marriage, comes little babies :) I want to have a kid by this time...maybe a couple? Who knows? I just want to make sure that my life and my career are stable before I go out popping out little cutie pie babies.
(I also hope that Kingdom Hearts 3 is out by this time. This isn't too out of reach...is it? Watch me be 30 years old, still creeping through the inter webs trying to find out the KH3 release date. Sadness.)
I'm trying to make 30 my year of stability. All of these struggles that I'm having in life right now with college and career (or lack there of) and what not will hopefully be settled by the time that I'm 30. I'll know what I want to do with my life by then. Just the thought of being sure of myself makes me a little bit happier! xD
But, it's not like I'm trying to fast-forward time. I'm going to enjoy my twenties as much as I possibly can. I mean, they basically just started! :)
