20 YEAR VISION
Hello future me. You are 38 years old and probably going to laugh at my childish aspirations of the future because the world is a harsh and cruel place. Anyways, go ahead and look back and cherish the good ole' days of adolescent optimism.
The fall of 2016 is when the future starts. I will be going to (insert hopefully good film school here) and majoring in Film and Television Production. This is the fresh start I have been needing since the very beginning of high school, and I will start anew, a new person in unfamiliar territory ready to conquer the world and everyone that stands in my way. I will be in (or on the outskirts of) the big city of (LA, Boston, or SF), ready to get the exciting city life on. Throughout my college days, I hope to work with a lot of amazing people and form really great connections within the film industry. My life could pan out in a few different ways from there, but here's a my most favorable (and far-fecthed!) scenario.
I form a star squad of my closest cohorts, and we create revolutionary work together. This could be in the means of an artsy film that wins awards at film festivals or a new television series that sends everyone into an obsessive frenzy. Whatever I do in the industry, I want to be revolutionary and work with people that share my enthusiasm for the art and importance of film. I'm just going to let myself get carried away with this scenario now, if no one minds...My team and I gain fame in the eyes of the public, and become the icons of something like a cult franchise. I don't want to be one of those bigwig Hollywood fellows (not that there's anything wrong with that, I just feel like there's a lot of negativity behind that façade), more like an entrepreneurial art movement co-ringleader. Sounds a little vague, but I'm not going into intense details here you know. I haven't figured it all out yet. Because of my famousness, I will have riches galore, and since I am a Capricorn, this was inevitable and no one should be surprised. No matter where I go to college, I doubt I will live in Los Angeles because the vibe there just harshes my mellow. After establishing a steady work flow of continuing to feed the public meaningful content, I will move somewhere cool like New York City or Boston or San Francisco and live there up until the 20 years of my future prediction is up. After that, who knows. Things will probably get tough after that because I think a lot of people have a nervous breakdown when they are almost 40. By then it will be 2036 and I can't even imagine that right now to tell the truth. I want to set goals for myself, but I don't want to be so utterly devastated when my very specific dreams do not come true. That's why I don't dwell on the future to extensively. 20 years is a long time. Who knows, I might meet up with one of my friends 20 years in the future at a restaurant and I am wanted in Chicago for stealing jewelry, and an undercover cop comes and arrests me. That is also possible.
Well. When it really comes down to it, my plan for the next 20 years and the rest of my life is to just be happy with whatever I do. When you blow out your birthday candles or make a wish on a dandelion, people say not to say what you wished for because you'll jinx it. Well here's me saying what I always wish for. I just want to have a happy life and no matter what I end up doing, that goal will always be a constant. If nothing I do makes a lot of money, or if it never becomes famous, maybe I don't even care. If I like what I do and I make myself proud, maybe that's all that matters.
