“Where do you see yourself in the future?”
The sarcastic punk in me always wants to reply with, “Who told you about my ESP?!” Instead I just stumble around my words and hope something coherent comes out.
The fact of the matter is that I don’t know. I know that I like to write. That is all I know. I don’t know where I see myself in the future. I don’t know where I see myself tomorrow, today – heck, I don’t even know where I see myself yesterday.
I’ve never been good at planning for my future. I applied to college early, but not out of preparation – I was just all squared away and I wanted to get it over with. I applied for transfer to U of O on a whim, got in and decided to go. I applied to the PDXSX because I wanted to be closer to home
(as in live at home and not pay rent) and I knew I would get a great experience from it (also, I knew it would be a good way to get my foot in the door – I like to think of myself as a free spirit but sometimes my brain does these things without informing me. I think it’s nice). This article says that an ENFP is: “a free spirit, creative, spontaneous, insightful, disorganized, dramatic, fun-loving, imaginative, non-conforming and definitely not neat.” (see what I did there? If not, go back a few posts!) I’m not sure I would say I am disorganized -and I am definitely neat. Sometimes. And I am never seriously dramatic. I do it jokingly! But hey, I’ll take it.
I like to put things off and just let things happen because I don’t have a plan for the future. I think my heart doesn’t care, and it wants me to just do whatever I feel like doing, but my head knows that sometimes you just have to prepare. So thank you, head. I appreciate that one of us has a plan.
I think I would have done well in the sixties. Minus all the psychedelic drugs… just because I don’t like to think about the future doesn’t mean I don’t want to have one.
