Happily Ever After: A dive into my imaginations

Is it happily ever after... more like happily ever after? It is hard to picture a point in my life at which I will no longer have any struggles and life will be merry from morning to evening from January to December and year after year. Sounds unrealistic, right. Well, that’s the reality Disney paints for its princesses. It can’t be that hard. The only problem is they don’t really give us a glimpse of what happens after the movie ends with the words, “And they lived happily ever after.” They leave you to imagine what happily ever after could mean to the respective characters you stayed an hour and forty-five minutes watching. It is definitely hard to consider the possibilities, but one thing is for certain, life can’t be merry forever.

As such, this time I am taking the daunting task of illuminating what Happily ever after means to me. My ideas may seem convoluted to some, but my hope is that you follow along as I try to paint the picture of my ideal future.

To start with, happily ever after is not a destination to me, it is still part of my life and as such I will try to be as descriptive as possible as I visualize it.

I think my happily ever after will begin when I have sold my successful start-up to say a multi-billion-dollar company for say I don’t know, a billion and a half or so. Not much. I would then wisely invest part of my share of the spoils in assets that consistently rake in income. Now that the foundation is solid, the real fun begins. I have always been a fan of travelling. Having never left my home country since I was born until January 12th, I definitely like to explore the world.  

At this point, you would think I would be content… right. I cannot travel alone. That would beg the question, who would I travel with. Depending on the time I am able to make this wild dream happen and consequentially, how old or young I will be, I could have married someone or probably would be dating someone. After all, this is happily ever after, right?

I have always valued relationships. I have always loved being around people that help me make memories and grow as a person. As such, I am looking forward to having a partner: a girl, lady, woman (once again, not sure about the age of the person I am referring to) who has a lot in common with me and shares some if not most of my aspirations and goals and hopefully at this point has been able to achieve them to some degree. For her, being adventurous should be implied otherwise the touring would not make any sense. 😆

I would definitely be touring the various iconic sites of the world, meeting new people and exploring different cultures and best of all making memories.

Additionally, I would like to have a team of mentees I would be advising and sharing the knowledge I had acquired during previous my life experiences and from my success in the workplace. To add to that, I would have a team of experts I could liaise with or consult for business or other potential ventures on whom I can rely for great advice and mind-blowing ideas.

Overall, my ideal life looks pretty sweet; a seemingly happily ever after.
