Wondering Linkly | Jobbishness

I’m 20, so it’s like I’m on this little origami mountain in a diorama, with all kinds of delightful ski slopes, but pitfalls (or the feelings of them) at every turn—and feeling very small. They shout, “The world is your oyster!” and it echoes off the purple construction paper. What can I say? My brain’s still developing. I think.

But now that it’s summer, my brain’s kinda rotting while on break from school. And I realize I won’t be as good at facilitating retirement as my dad is with his pilot dreams (and LESSONS—he’s really excited about it).

So I’m clicking around a lot and fiddling with cover letters and building new resumes. The writing practice and design commitment has been really fulfilling! I’m waiting on some applications, so, I’m clicking around some more, just keepin’ the brain juices flowing with this career thing~

Here’s the first Wondering Lately in a while:

In 5 years time

An interview question I won’t have to be answering is this: “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”

Where will I be as a 25-year-old? Here’s one loose breakdown:

1. Graduated. Bam check it, HUZZAH. I don’t even say that.
2. Knit warmly in a church family and active in ministry with at least younger women.
3. Closer relationally and at least relatively residentially to my family.

All wrapped in a warm blanket of God’s faithful provision which by nature comes with many surprises. Otherwise, professionally, romantically, educationally, even residentially I’m not certain whatsoever. I see 27 as being easier to picture, and I want to wrestle with why.
