Ten Years From Now

Today some classmates filming a time capsule video asked me what I wanted my life to be like in ten years. I thought I had a solid idea of what I wanted yet as the camera was rolling and I was unexpectedly hit with the question, I found I didn't really know the answer.

Ten years from now I will be 27 and as sure as I am that I could do great things in the next few years, it's quite difficult to image what life could really be like. So many unexpected things can occur in a single year let alone ten. 

I actually gave this question a little thought a few days back, I guess that's why I was so surprised that I still had no idea what to answer. When I truly think of my life, my future and my career it's quite difficult to imagine a guy forming a part of it, at least during the first few years. Up until now I've had no luck when it comes to guys and I've found I'm quite content with that. I have so many dreams and aspiration, so many things that I wish to accomplish, that it's quite difficult thinking about considering someone else's life and future such as you would with a significant other. 

Maybe it's just me being a little too selfish here but the way I see things is that this is my life, the only one I have, and there's so much I want to do and accomplish that having to alter my decisions, life goals, and way of living just isn't worth it. 

With that mind set and a lot of thinking I managed to come up with what I think is a decent answer, what I think I'd like my life to be like in ten years, the closest answer I'll come up with at this point at least. 

Ten years from now if I followed through with the fashion design and business degree I'm thinking about pursuing, I'd like to be running a successful company which sells my own designs. Though being the designer behind the label would be amazing I think I'd ultimately want to settle into the CEO position. It's tricky though, to think and plan out what you hope your life will turn out like, five years from now starting and running my own fashion company could be the last thing I want, but for now that is the plan. 

Purchasing my own home has always been my "bigger plan" and I'm not talking about getting married and purchasing one with the help of my spouse. It might just be the feminist in me but the idea of having to wait to be able to make such a large purchase is just ridiculous. I've always been a hard worker so I don't see why I couldn't just make the purchase on my own. Then if a nice guy comes along and we decide to get married I could always put it up for rent and keep my property, something not enough women even today are able to say. 

Lastly it'd be ridiculous to avoid the sore thumb among the pinkies, the lone flower among the twigs, (however you want to say it, whatever way the saying actually go's, I think you get the point) it's time I mention this blog and what I hope it turns into. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want this blog to turn into a success. I am an ambitious and hard working person after all, though I have to admit a couple hundred or even a simple hundred loyal readers following this blog would be the biggest success I could ask for.

I can just imagine it Noemy Serrano at 27 years old. Head of a successful fashion company, traveling the world, fashion blogger for ten years. Working my butt off for what I want, single-handedly paying off my own home, finally finding true love and being able to settle down, all my goals, dreams and aspirations under the belt.

With Love,

Noemy Serrano
