When I Grow Up

And the truth is, I still don’t know.
I’m lucky, in that the work I do at the moment I actually something I do love doing – and would still be doing even if I were doing something else as a ‘proper job’ – but I still keep coming back to thew question “Is this what I want to be doing for the next 20+ years?” (Or even the next 10) The answer to that is also “I don’t know”.
Of course then there’s the follow-on questions – If not this, then what? Why? How? And again, I don’t know.
So it’s a case of asking the questions, and then trying to find the answers – and I think in some cases that’s what the next year or so will be about. I’ve got some ideas, and want to work a bit more on those over the next few months. That is, basically, the plan.
Who knows? By the end of it all, I may actually have some better ideas of what I want to do and be when I grow up…
Do you think that’s a question with an answer though?
I don’t know – lots of people seem to be able to answer it (and have done)
But answering it for myself? I honestly don’t know. Maybe, maybe not. We’ll see.
