I’ve always hated the phrase
Where do you see yourself
In a year, in five, in ten years?
To the people asking the question,
I don’t know is never acceptable.
The truth is never a correct response.
Because the truth is that
I cannot see myself today
Let alone tomorrow, or even a year from now.
To the people asking the question,
Only the appearance of an answer matters.
After the question is asked and answered,
They get to go on about their day, oblivious.
While I am still left with the question.
