In the last 10 years - a long journey
If i think about 10 years ago, we had the year 2016. What did i do 2016? Still going to school, leaving it for 2 years, then going to school again, to make my diploma in informatics. At the same time i slowly began to take drugs. Like ALL of them and sometimes even at once^^ yeah, i was really chaotic... I went to raves (which are nowadays nearly death at my place) or used the drugs at home.. Alone... To make a party... Alone... I still enjoyed it. I made the night to day and the day to night. Not that i always took everything. Like weed i smoked daily (up to 10 joints a day in my peak, probably when i build up a tolerance for it that while smoking it you notice the high feeling for a reeeeaaally tiny bit and it gets away BEFORE you finish your joint!) and others i took every now and then, whenever i got an occassion to buy something i buyed and took it until it was finish. So yeah... It was a pretry wild time back then.
So after getting my diploma while there was coronoa i did pretty nothing because i didn't knew what i want to do in life. So i stayed at home, smoked my joints and eventually one day i got to the working rehabilitation center. So i made that for about nearly a year and then they found my current working place for me as accounting. I really like it here!
Also i found finally a girlfriend while there was corona, twi years later we moved together and probably half a year later we tried to get children. And it was probably one shot one kill or something because she stayed pregnant and we got our wonderfull son :D
In the meantime i got sober from everything, for my girlfriend. She really helped me with that, alone i wouldn't have been able to get sober. I mean, i still smoke a joint every now and then. But it's far away from what i used to smoke^^ like the last one i smoked was last year in the middle of december. So we are half through 2026 and i still didn't make a single hit! (It's just insane if i think back... If future me would've visited 2016 me and told one day i will live without smoking a joint for half a year, i wouldn't have believed it!^^)
So yeah, the last 10 years were really an up and down, a rollercoaster for real!
Let's see where you are in another 15-16 years. I can't say I look forward to that. If you ask me you achieved more than I. To be honest Instill don't know what I want if it comes to employment.
I guess just the ordinary, the feeling to be and have a home.
Enjoy!
Thanks :) first of all, don't compare yourself to me (or others). Life is not a sprint run, everyone lives in his own steps ;)
I also couldn't imagine myself employed. It was just pure random that i landed in that job and i liked it, so i stayed^^ what's also to say (i saw that words somewhere online and they just fit 100%): I didn't plan my future, because i didn't plan to have a future. But here i am now, awkwardly^^
(It were probably more than 10 minutes, something around 15 i guess. But i couldn't just stop^^ i hope it's still valid for the contest)
It is valid an no problem if longer.
