Mapping out the next 5 years of my life…
2012 is a very important year for me. Ever since I turned 18 I lived each day not for myself but for my family. I was thrust onto the role of the breadwinner. I helped send 4 siblings to school. The youngest is on his last year in college and I am really praying that he graduates by next year. After his graduation, that’s when I will permit myself to think about ME.
I have many plans. I plan to go back to school, do some traveling, enroll in a belly dancing class, make sure all insurance plans are in place, and move into a new home in a new neighborhood that is peaceful and quiet.
Those are just some of my 2012 plans. I plan to spend as much alone time as possible. I’ve been surrounded by so much noise and pressure all my life I think I am ready for stretches of quiet and uneventful days. Don’t get me wrong, I love my family. But if you come from a large family like me, you know that it gets overwhelming from time to time. You feel the need to get away from it all. I am hoping and praying that by the middle of 2012, I can already go anywhere I like at the drop of a hat. And be alone whenever I feel like it.
You know I don’t ask for too much. I don’t ask for an easy life actually (but if it will be given, why not? Haha!). I am just asking for a life with less worries and a bit more fun for me. More stable for the family. And sana a big fat savings account!
