Winter Light

Whenever I hear the word “future,” the first thing that comes to mind, and also the thing that I’ve always wanted, is this: 

Get married.
Wait at least a year before having three or four kids.
Work in a job that’s challenging enough but something that I won’t have to think about when I come home, and would compensate enough for me to be able to do, enjoy and own the things that I love (like travelling, giving pasalubongs for family and friends, supporting my family, some shopping..).
Live in my own house. (Hopefully in my dream house)
Come home everyday to a pleasant and safe tree-lined neighborhood. 

I just want the simple life. (Although it doesn’t sound so simple when I lay it out in detail.) It may be ordinary or plain for some. But it’s the only way I know how to make the best of life. By having a simple life, I can do extraordinary things, like raise good kids, see the world, help people, and have lasting and meaningful relationships. Those things are priceless. Though travelling isn’t so priceless. ;)

Family, friends, work, domestic life, travel. That basically sums up my dream for the future.
