Where Will You Be 5 Years From Now?
Written by Sean on Wednesday, August 12, 2009
I’ve asked a few people by email to write a short blog entry about "where will you be 5 years from now?". The goal is to come up with a collaborative post, a little bit like Choice and BIID.
The idea here is not so much where you’ll be geographically, and specifically in the future. It is more about where you see yourself. What will be happening in your life? Will you have a partner/spouse? If you have a partner/spouse now and haven’t told them about BIID, will you have told them about it then? Will you be pretending regularly? Or even perhaps full time? Or will you be paralysed, or an amputee, or blind, etc?
You might talk about where you are at now, where you would like to be, and where you think you’ll actually be. Or play around that theme.
I invite my readers to send me an email on the topic, which I’ll publish in one post on (or around) 1st of September. If you wish to remain anonymous, that’s ok too :)

Sean, I’m afraid I have to put myself with Cath here. I’ve never been able to come up with a five year plan that has even the remotest resemblance to reality.
Five years ago I wished to be dead; not just occasionally, all of the time. I lived alone. I did not feel psychologically capable of dating anybody, partly because I felt totally unlovable. I was unemployed. I wasn’t even thinking about wheelchairs. I was deliberately attempting to get struck by lightning. My current life would have been completely unimaginable.

I don’t think I can do this one, Sean. I can’t seem to think any further ahead than next week. Frankly I’ll be surprised if I am still around in five years. Sorry to be negative, but that is where I am.
