One question that we all ask ourselves and might not answer out loud is, how will our future look? It is now March 2025, I recently got married, many may think "wow, a wedding?", "but you're so young", and sometimes I will get the "how did you afford it?" but that's where there is a difference between a wedding and just getting married. I just got legally married and signed the papers but there was no wedding cake, no big ceremony, and no venue.

I fear for the future. The future feels increasingly uncertain due to a combination of factors such as rising inflation, the escalating cost of living, a challenging job market, and the limited access to quality education. These interconnected issues create a sense of insecurity for many individuals, as the financial pressures intensify, making it difficult to secure stable employment and afford necessary goods and services.

Now my hope and dreams for the future? Just a roof over my head, a stable income between my husband and I, healthy children, and a happy family.

Anything is possible, my dreams can become reality but I fear the unknown (the future).
