It’s a common question on job interviews, while it’s a common question. It’s one question i had trouble answering before, three years ago. I had no definite plan on what to do in the future, my motto that time was to not think of the future and to live in the present.

Exactly three years and 7 months ago, my life changed for the better. I met the most awesome girl in the world.

We are totally different from who we are three years ago, from a boy and a girl who love each other, we are now a man and a woman forever in love and whose life and future is totally intertwined together.

I love that we are two totally different people with two different backgrounds, personality, career, strengths and hobbies but are linked by our genuine but fierce love for each other.

These different things makes us unique, challenges us and keeps the fire of our love burning. Be it negative or positive, due to this differences, these keeps our relationship interesting and prevents it from being boring.

Now, I would never say we are an ideal or perfect couple, as with every couple, we fight, we bicker, we disagree and hurt each other but at the end of the day, we talk, we listen and understand each other because at the end of all those negative things, love keeps us from being apart.

What i love about us is that while we love being together all the time, we are not in a parasitic relationship, needing each other to complete ourselves. What we have is a relationship that complements one another. Not needing one another to succeed but needing one another to inspire the other to be better and succeed.

We love each other, and i know that we will keep on loving each other through tantrums, dramas, heartaches, mistakes, illness and all those things that hurt us because whatever those things are, the other will be there to hold the others hand and understanding the other even if it’s hard to understand. Because love keeps an open mind and understands even the ununderstable.

We are each other’s light, a beacon that helps the other overcome all the trials. We are each others ‘wind’, not because we can’t live without the other but because we are there for each other even in times that we don’t understand or see one other. We exist and choose to help the other live through all that’s happening in life.

Now, i know everyone’s asking what’s next? What happens next to our intertwined lives, the answer to that is coming soon, but to when is it coming? The answer will surprise you and everyone around us.

So to answer the question, where do i see myself in five years? The answer to that question is, with the one i love. ♥️
