They just had this on the morning talk show on tv......

If you backed up your life 1o years, what were you doing then? Was your life the same? Same home, same significant other, same job, same you????

a girlfriend and I were just talking about this on the phone - 10 years ago we were just about to graduate from our first university course. Seems like a million years a go, different house, different life, different everything - now 10 years later we are both expecting our first child.

10 years ago, I was 13 and in high school! I certainly have changed since then and thank goodness i'm not still with my boyfriend from back then!


It is funny looking back though, as I keep in touch with a lot of my friends from then and we're all so grown up and living around the country - instead of just down the road! It's amzing how much changes!

10 years ago, I was a freshman in high school. Needless to say, my life is 110% different now (except I still live in the same town and I'm still the class clown
).

Gosh, I have just realised that I have moved four times since I was 13! It has all been within the last five years too!
I am now living in the City and back then, I was in a lovely village! I do miss Village life though!

Wow. I was just reflecting on the "10 years ago I was..." a few days ago.

10 years ago I was planning on divorcing a controlling, abusive man who I'd been with for 4 years. I had nothing. No car (it was in his name), no credit, and the only place I could go was back to my parents house. I was working a very stable job, but only making half what I make now.

I was scared, yet full of hope. Childless. I was half the person I am now.

I love my life now.

10 years ago I was only 12!
So let's see, it was the summer after 6th grade and I was probably in Western NY with my mom since that was the last summer that she and I drove up together. I was a giant goofball, so nothing much has changed in that respect. I had also had an insane number of "middle school boyfriends" that year and had yet to find out that puberty was going to take it's toll and that I'd have none the next year.

EEK!!!
I'm so boring!!!!!!!!!!

Same spouse
same house but 10 yrs ago we remodeled the "2nd" floor which is the kitchen/powder room and bathroom.
Same job which I probably enjoyed better back then

I was thinner than I am now

The only cat that is still the same is OX. I had gotten Sheba (RIP
)
in August 10 yrs ago.
Different vehicles but still and F150 and Explorer.
I wasn't quite the garden fanatic that I am now


BUT................
Times are a changing with the job ending in September

Who knows what the next 10 years will bring!!

10 years ago?

Same SO; same house; same employer, though the job has changed somewhat; same core group of friends; same interests; different kitties. Pretty much the same me, too, I think.

I was 11 years old. My father had just moved out and my parents were in the middle of their final separation (they'd separated several times before, but this time never got back together). They'd gone bankrupt, so my mom and I had just moved to a new, much smaller, house. Also, my six-year-old cousin had died two months earlier, and the family was still dealing with that. My year-old kitty, Berlioz, had just disappeared (we let him out one night, and he never came back), and I was crushed about that. Summer vacation had just started, and the weather was incredibly hot. I was about a month away from getting my Meeko, he was being born around this time.
I was spending my days riding my bike, playing at the beach and building a little 'fort' in the woods with my best friend, Jessica.

10 years ago, I would have been 17, living at home with my parents and sister, and at college studying for A Levels. I remember this time clearly as there was quite a lot going on and it wasn't a very happy time for me

Living in the land of not enough time
10 yrs ago I was looking for a house, working for the same company but in a MUCH different capacity. I hadn't met my SO yet. I enjoyed the people I worked with, but the job was so super simple it was boring. I don't think I would have lasted 10 yrs.

I'm happier now.

10 years ago I was 15 and boy was I screwing my life up! I wouldn't go back for a million dollars. I did grow a lot since then.. I don't even think I needed glasses back then, and I had not yet been to the gyno

10 years ago I was almost 17, graduating high school and still living with my parents.

I was very different than I am now. I was hopelessly trying to fit in with the other people my age.
Now I still don't fit in but I like it. It's fun to be a weirdo. Normal people are boring!


I had no boyfriend and I am back to none. Except now I'm happy by myself.

I would NOT want to go back to anything from 10 years ago.

Well I would be getting ready to start my second year of college. Around this time, I was dropping back from full time to part time classes and beginning a full time job. I was single then as I am now and seem to be most of the time. I was still living with my parents and still hanging out with my high school friends.

Let's just say a lot has changed and I wouldn't go back for the world.

10 years ago I was 5 - we lived in a much smaller but nicer house in a suburb called Ranui Heights, my Mum was still partners with the most wonderful man in my life, and I had many kitties and my two doggies Jazz(Who is stll alive today) and Soul(RIP). My life has changed SO much in 10 years.
