What do you want to be when you grow up? 

When I was still a child, I have so many dreams. To be a chef, a designer, an astronaut, and many more. I grew up with so many aspirations, and now that I am matured enough, I just realize that I have no concrete goal after all. I don't know what I should prioritize. It is like, I keep walking without even knowing the road I am crossing, but I don't want to be stagnant in this concept.

I believe that we are like trees, society is a forest, and children are seeds. Some harvests fruits, others obtain vegetables, several people discover that their strength and firmness are their own gift, and multiple individuals are dependent in their intellectual capabilities. As a tree, there really are days that are sunny, rainy, cloudy, and stormy. There really comes a time wherein we are to be tested on our trust, and faith in ourselves. In my case, I am a tree that is continuously growing, patiently waiting and trusting what I will reap in the future. 

Someday, I will have my own house with huge windows, big enough to see the beauty of world whilst feeling my own home to my self. Someday, I will have a job, and from there, I will create my own salary, and that is my passion. All of it will be worth it and be accomplished someday, because I know that I am a work in progress, and I am confident that I am in the middle of my own process. To be thankful on what my leaves and roots have become as they are the reason that I aimed high and dream deep.

That is why five years from now, I aspire to be five times better than my previous versions. I want to be firm, to be smart, to be independent, to know what I REALLY want, to live, and not just to breathe. 

Five years from now, I will look back and smile at the very first leaf, and root I had when I was young. Goodness, how much I've grown.
