What does the future hold?!
It's late and I have to get up at 5:45am tomorrow...it's one of those nights when you just lie in bed and you can't seem to fall asleep, no matter how much you want to...you start questioning your life and wonder what lies ahead...you even try to predict and make plans on how to live it...is that normal? Shouldn't we live life as it comes, or does the complexity of life nowadays force us to prepare the unknown? I lie in bed now and I think I have it all figured out...but is that what I want or is it what I think I should want? I have all these things I want to do later on in life...it starts with teaching French for a few years in the UK...it also goes all the way to Africa where I want to do humanitarian work (as well as teach there)...it then takes a turn to living in Asia,wherever the wind takes me and teach english,while learning about such a distant and different culture...I see myself learning spanish and going from mexico to Ushuaia, to see penguins...I see myself eventually learning chinese after having lived a couple of years in China teaching English...I see myself meeting a woman who loves the same things that I do, especially my taste for distant places, whether it is now or 10 years from now, she's somewhere...I see myself and my future wife having a child born in Tibet (don't ask me why, only one other person know ;-) )...my children (the 2 of them) will be brought up speaking French and English and if possible Chinese, I will not move around as much ounce they are born but by the time they are 18 they will have lived in 3 different countries (it may seem harsh but I know all the benefits of that)...I see myself retiring on an island in the Pacific, going fishing everyday and occasionally playing basketball with young children and telling them of how big and amazing the world is, and of everything there is to see...I only hope that along the way I will have done some good, met some wonderful people and lived my life as fully as possible...
Will I be able to do all these things? I don't know...but I sure dam plan on it...should I make plans or just simply live life as it comes? I think I'll need a few more of these sleepless nights to figure this one out...as my mind keeps me from sleeping I wonder...
