Fog happens.

Have you ever been asked, "where do you see yourself in five years?" If you have, some of you might have a clear image of your life for the next 5-10 years, and some of us can barely see hours, days, or weeks ahead, let alone years. And of course, many people exist somewhere at various points on that spectrum of forward-thinking visibility. If you're one of those who have trouble seeing how you want your life to be or seeing ahead more than a few days or weeks, you are not alone.

I'm grateful to have surrounded myself with people who are forward thinking in hopes it will someday rub off on me, lol. For real, though, it's a struggle for me to plan ahead, see ahead, all of that. My ADHD doesn't help, and my ASD (testing phase) makes it more difficult for me to understand and utilize forward thinking without a little assistance. If you're in a similar boat, luckily we live in a time of technology where we have apps and ways to help us plan better than we would otherwise. So, if you haven't tried any of those, now's a great time! That's not a cure-all by any means. Even with planners and calendars, I can be future-blind and only able to see the hand in front of my face "when the fog is thick."

The point of this post is to tell you, it's ok if you don't know what your life will look like in several years. My logical-thinking brain says no one can truly know what the future holds. Make plans and goals and enjoy each day you are given. Whether you have your life mapped out to the T, or if you don't even know what you're doing for dinner this evening, it's ok!
