10 years and 5 days ago, I was 26 and I went on the first date with the woman I married. Things have been going well ever since.
5 years from now, I want to be coasting at my peak position within the company I'm working for. At the same time, my independant lighting design career will be gaining enough momentum that I can quit on a high note, and devote myself to it full time. We'll have our second child and they'll both think I'm the coolest dad ever. (Mom will too
)
10 Years from now I will be working solely as a lighting Designer, to the point where I'll be turning down work, rather than trawling for it.
I can take whatever comes with my career, but the real unknown on the horizon is our parents. In ten years, they'll be in their 70's and who knows how their health will be. Confronting and coping with their decline is the challenge I'm the least prepared for. Family well-being is what matters to me most.
