My big "apostrophe" (yes, I know its actually epiphany.. it's a movie quote- deal with it) Is that making plans is totally and utterly pointless. As soon as you do, that's when things start to get crazy. It's easier to just go with the flow. Roll with the punches.
However, why is it when people know that they think that you don't care or aren't planning for the future?
"So, where are you going to be in two years?"
"Umm... where I am now?"
"You don't know what you want to be when you grow up?"
Who says I have to grow up? (No, I don't really say that, but believe me, that is the least of my rude, sarcastic responses) "I have some ideas."
My philosophy? It's kind of like the whole make a wish upon a star thing. If you tell someone, your dreams won't come true. It works the same way. You tell people something you're thinking about doing, and they just go nuts. They plan out how you're new career will help them (has happened to me THREE times), or how they can help you get that new career (has also happened to me). Or they think you're nuts and start telling you everything that's wrong with it (I think this is a pet peeve of mine).
My new "plan" (though we really aren't calling it that, since I'm through with planning) is to just one day announce what I'm doing after its too late for everyone to try and have an input. Like, my bags are packed and I already have the job. I wonder how that will go over.
But then again, since I'm not planning, who knows? I might do a complete 180 and be living in a tiki hut with 2.5 kids. Go me.
Word of the day: Verisimilitude
The appearance of truth; the quality of seeming to be true
