No. I thought I would be doing better as a dad and a provider.
5 years ago today? not even close. i had very different goals and a very different game plan for life...
Definitely. I thought I would live somewhere else, have a different job, and have a newer car, lol.
Almost! pretty close. I definitely thought I'd have kids by now and maybe a house to love in but all the rest is great! I'm married to a wonderful man, my best friend, and we're working towards out goals together. I guess there's no hurry now, as long as I'm not stressed all is good!
Nee absoluut niet! Ik geloofde in eeuwige trouw, in onvoorwaardelijke liefde, in wederzijds respect, ... Blijkt dat dit alleen in sprookjes bestaat. Nooit gedacht dat de liefde van mijn leven, mijn eigen man mij zo zou folteren. Nooit gedacht dat je mij zo zou pijn doen. Het voelt alsof dat alle beenderen in mijn lijf gebroken zijn.
Professionally, I'm a little behind...Family-wise, I'm a little ahead! Overall, I'm even happier than I ever dreamed!
Almost. I have the girl and just need the job!
I am at a different, better place than I thought I'd be 5 years ago. I'm so much happier!!! :)
Absolutely not! 5 years ago I almost lost the love of my life. We were at such a strenuous place in our careers and relationship I didn't know where we were heading. One fairy tale wedding later and two beautiful children we are stronger than ever! Our ability to work hard and lean on one another when times get rough have landed both of us in strong, profitable, and challenging careers too! Life is good and I can't wait for the next 5 years!!
No
Pretty much, except it keeps getting better. As time has gone by, we've been able to top every last trip together or vacation together with new, amazing memories. We turn the most mundane tasks into adventures together, and we have a blast doing so. So while I would say that I thought it would be like this, I never knew my life would be this much better.
I don't entertain fantasies about what life might be like, so 'yes'.
No, I'm working way too much for a guy my age
Nee nog niet ik ben op weg
Nope, i have a different perspective, either i do it or it isn't going to happen. So if i want it i must make it.
