Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?

Long-term planning is something I’ve struggled with, even a year at a time. So in general I don’t think about what my life will be like in those terms.

That doesn’t mean I don’t have expectations or anticipate things, but more so that I never stick to a set plan. A year ago I half expected to still be roughly where I was at at that time, and I was right. Still living with one of my best friends, still working the same job, still going about my days and weeks the same as I had been. I guess the only difference is that I hadn’t been thinking ahead to NaNoWriMo 2023 and digging back into writing consistently for the blog. That’s been a major change, because it changes my priorities a little bit for how I choose to spend my time. For example, as I’m typing this up I see some friends in a voice channel on Discord, and one of them had put out an open call to play games (this time Lethal Company) to which I usually jump right in with them. Instead, I’m choosing to type this up first, to meet my consistency goals, and then we’ll see where I’m at in maybe 20 minutes.

Summed up for today’s prompt, no I’m not quite where I pictured myself to be. A year from now will likely have the same outcome with maybe some minor changes, but we’ll just have to see where the year takes me.
