Where do I see myself in 10 years? - 30 Day Blogging Challenge, Day 2

Wow they go hard in this challenge, huh? Straight into one of the most difficult questions for someone with chronic health problems 🫣

As a refresher or in case you didn't see my day 1 post: This 30-day blogging challenge comes from kerryjohnson.co.uk and I'm sharing the actual list here, too.

I'm especially excited because it will force me to step a little outside my comfort zone and share things I might not normally think to share!

Where I see myself in 10 years as an artist

Before I dive into the harder part (considering my health, etc.) I want to start with where I see myself as an artist in 10 years. I think I need to start here because it offers me the most hope.

As an artist, I hope that in 10 years I have been able to share my arts with more people. It isn't a popularity contest and your number of followers on social media isn't what matters. But, I do hope to grow in that capacity so I can share my various artworks with more people.

I hope that in 10 years my art has helped someone else to heal or grow. What an honor that would be.

I intend to keep building my skills in visual arts, music, music production, and writing books. I hope to publish more books and albums in the next 10 years.

Where I see myself in 10 years as a person with hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome

It's weird to write this post, because "Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" is generally meant to motivate people and get them excited about their future. If I'm entirely honest, my future kind of scares me sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️

 

 

I truly do not know what my future will bring, but I know I'm already talking to doctors about possible neck surgery, fusions, and the progressing digestive problems I am facing. I know that I am trying everything I can, holistically, to manage my health but that a time may come when even the best of intentions and healthiest lifestyle might mean I need surgeries, feeding tubes, and regular wheelchair use.
I guess the perspective I can bring to this part of the blogging challenge is this: We really have no idea where we'll be in 10 years. So much can happen in our health, personal lives, job opportunities, economies, world politics, etc. that are out of our control.

Where do I see myself in 10 years as a human on this planet

Well, assuming I'm still here, let me just say this: I see myself as someone who continues to be humbled every day by just how small a part I am in this cosmic experience of life on Earth. I hope I continue to grow, to shine my light, to forgive, to love, and to share everything I can with the intention of making this world a more beautiful and loving place.

✌️🩷🙏🏻
