About an hour ago I was Skyping my g/f, and I asked her the question "Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?" And she said, hopefully with me, in our own home with kids etc.I will be 32 by 2025/6, and I suspect I will be living back home in Bloemfontein or Johannesburg, South Africa by then.
Am trying to garner as many IT qualifications and certifications as possible between now and then, and also go with a PhD in Computer Sciences at some point soon.
Not sure if I'm ready for marriage and kids yet though. Same-sex marriage has been legal in SA since 2006, but there are still pockets of resistance/homophobia in certain states.
So i think for the next 5 years it will be progress with my career and education, move back to SA, and then see what happens in the 5 years after that(No doubt I will still be on here wittering on,
She then asked me the same question. And there was my problem given my answers on this thread. I could have told a white lie and agree with her vision; or I could tell her the truth and say I probably won't be here.
After much thought I went with the latter.
There was a bit of a silence before she asked me to say it again, which I did.
Silence
And then she told me to GFY and the connection went dead.
Ooops!

but he wont budge on that either.

not really sure where I want to be tbh, i feel very lucky that all the major "life milestones" are ticked off. Only thing I feel left to "do"" is learn how to drive but the thought terrifies me.
