Ten Years Out: Calmer Brain, Real Love, Safe Home
Ten years from now I see myself in a stable role I’m actually proud of, using my brain a lot — problem-solving, planning, helping things run smoothly — but with enough boundaries that I can be present for my people and not burnt out. My thinking will be calmer and more confident (still analytical, just less spiraling), and my relationships will be a small, very real circle — a couple of ride-or-die friends, hopefully a partner I met in a natural way, honest conversations on the table, and a home that feels lived-in and safe…with at least one cat claiming the best spot on the couch.
