Did you ever write a prediction for yourself... yearbooks come to mind... about what your life would be like in ten years? What did you find happened? I was reading some of them (not mine) but I was having quite a laugh. Mine didn't happen either, I figured I'd be bailing friends out of jail LOL! I've learned in the 15 years since high school that you don't really want to remain friends with people who are getting jailed repeatedly.

i did do that but it was always short term lol.. but i dont think anything i have predicted for myself has come true.. mostly because of health but i still have a few goals im gonna try to hit lol.. but yeah its weird how what we thought we would have been like now didnt happen and with both of us its probably because we didnt stay around people back then that would have led us there.. ie your jail birds lol

I don't know anyone who has actually lived the life they thought they would in high school. Way back when I still believed I lived in a fantasy world. One in which I completely controlled my own destiny. I vowed to live a particular way in order to avoid the same mistakes my mother did.
Well, some 15 years later, here I am walking a mile in my mothers shoes. Been through divorce, without a house to call mine, children by different dads, broke deadbeat ones to boot, finally returning to college, and scraping to make ends meet.
Is this life I thought I would live? Absolutely not! One thing I've learned tho, is to never say never. All of the things I ever said I would never do, endded up happening. But all the things I was determined to accomplish, I have either finished, or mae heads way on. So, its better to plan on the positives than try to avoid the negatives.

I first became self employed ten years ago and I was busy starting up my own business. I ran that business for five years and then I concentrated on making money online, but I was doing something completely different then to what I do now.
My life has also changed dramatically in ways I never imagined. I am living in a different city now and I am no longer in a relationship. I'm glad things don't always turn out as predicted, it makes life more exciting. I like the experiences I gain from having big changes in my life.
