Day 09 - How you hope your future will be like.
i hope my future is ripe with success in my career. seriously, i'm going to be close to $100,000 in school debt by the time i'm done with law school, god forbid if i decide to go after my psych phd (add another $70,000), so if i fall flat on my face afterwords i'm screwed.
realistically i'd like to see myself helping people, be it as a lawyer or a behavioral analyst. i'd prefer to be catching bad guys, but i'm not above victim advocacy as a close second. because i have ovaries, i've got a natural ability to be quite ruthless when personal restraint is removed from the equation, so i'd almost feel sorry for whomever would invoke my wrath on behalf of the victims i'd be protecting. this is where corporate law will more than likely come into play, hence wanting to specialize in that as well as criminal law.
i want to own a home one day, maybe. i'm not 100% sure because i don't like to be tied down regionally, and selling a house is a pain in the ass that i'd rather not deal with when relocating. this is my view on kids too. i mean, sometimes i really do think i want kids, but then my sensibility returns and i realize i'm probably not quite mommy material. with nik i kinda fell in line in the maternal role, but i don't know that i could keep that up full-time. my career is incredibly important to me, and i know that my dedication to that fact has the ability to be devastating to a family. better to save any theoretical children from a shitty childhood than subject them to it.
i'd like to be doing well enough in my career that justin could take a break from working, like he's allowed me to do. he's not exactly the college type, but if he chose to i'd totally back him on that, its only fair.
past that i have no idea what the future holds (besides a wheelchair, but i prefer not to think about that...)
