When I get older... by Marion

Marion... "morphed" into a 30 something!

Getting older and old age scare me!

I have projects for the future but, before presenting them, I want to say that the future is really strange for me because it's completely uncertain. What is frightening is that I cannot really imagine myself in 10 or 20 years' time... Well, I can approximately imagine how I will be, but I can't imagine what my ideas will be, or who my friends will be, and that is stressful. In fact the only thing I have for the moment are projects and hope, but I'm not sure I will achieve everything I want to, even if I'll do everything in order to succeed...

Let's be a bit more optimistic ! In ten years, I will be 28 years old (oh my God!) and if I fulfil my professional ambition, I will be an events communication manager, that is I will organize meetings to connect different people around special events. In this job, you have to be ready to listen, to be quick and creative and these are qualities I have. I hate to be alone, and that's why I have chosen a job where I will be in constant contact with others, a dynamic job which will use every skill I have.

In my personal life, I hope to have a real family life : children and a loving husband. It's the hope of many women I think. Sure, it's a classic scenario, but I think family is an important thing because it allows you to share your love and generosity with people you love more than everything. We don't have to be selfish !

Nowadays, people are living in a “ everyone for himself” mind set, which is just unbearable and inconceivable. How can we be so selfish in a world in constant economic and environmental crises ? It sounds ridiculous to say it, but solutions and ideas are better when you are all together, working towards the same goal. If everybody thinks only about himself, it's the survival of our species which is put in jeopardy! The future is uncertain for all of us...

The world is not well and I think we all have something to do to make things a bit better. That's why I want to make a commitment to an association or to an environmental organisation to help those who need to be helped. I think it's important to be involved in such projects because there will always be someone who will need you and it is essential not to ignore others ; a favour given could be a favour returned!

This is what I want to do and what I want to be later, but maybe my ideas will have changed and I will be a cynical and selfish woman... But, hey, let's be honest: I won't be transformed into a devil having always been an angel!
