Looking to the future is nice, but we should also try to live in the present. I have a lot of friends who are looking straight into five years from now. Sure, it is important that you plan ahead, but life can always throw you a curve ball. Do not sacrifice your present for a future filled with uncertainty. Life is not a race, you will eventually get where you need to be, so do not overthink your life, okay?
