How far along the 5 year plan are you? - 7th Jan, 2015

Time Travelled — almost 5 years

Peaceful right?

Dear 27 yr old Me, How are you doing? How has the 5 year plan worked out? Are you and Victor married yet? Do you have kids? He wanted them right away? Most importantly, are you happy? Are you still entitled, feeling that you deserve better... that you are special... but still working hard for that better? I hope you are (entitled and working hard)! What did you decide on? CFA or FRM? are you working in Treasury, Insurance or did you take the brave path and devote more time to writing? Knowing you, you would only do this if you won a lottery or something? Have you gotten to travel? What kind of music do you like? Did you sell out to the middle class consciousness and start attending Blankets and Wine when we both know that you are a rocker, not an afrofusionist... and that wine is not your thing (you prefer vodka) and that you do not like the outdoors. I am so curious about you because in the past five years I have grown so different from PastMe. I hope that if I ran into you I would like what you have become. I hope that you continued to blog and that you have embarked on that natural hair journey. I hope that you are still a dreamer. Sincerely, 22 year old me.
