I'm only 25 but I'm already contemplating life at 35 and where I want to be.

So I've been thinking about where I'm going to be in 10 years.

Things I want by the time I hit 35:
-A successful career
-At least one child
-A home

I'm becoming more and more open to the fact that the life I want/will have does not include a romantic partner.

I think it really hit home yesterday at brunch when someone said something about going to a movie alone and then said they would never do that. I would TOTALLY do that. I DO do that. I enjoy hanging out with friends and family but sometimes I just don't bother inviting people to do X, Y, and Z because I'm FINE going by myself. Is that perhaps a tell tale sign about how I prefer to live?

I've never been the kind of person that needs a boyfriend and I really don't understand the people who do seem to NEED to be with someone. I think everyone probably knows someone who falls into the category of "I Must Be Dating Someone CONSTANTLY." A few of them did that right up until they married.

Something tells me that I'm going to end up living a life that looks something like an Indie film where my family consists of a patchwork of friends.
