"The future" is a concept that has always sounded scary to me. It seemed like everyone else was in such a hurry to grow up, but not me. Part of me didn't think I'd have any future, sure. For a demigod that makes sense. I've barely given it any thought. Would I follow in my dad's footsteps as an archery instructor? Become a doctor of some kind? I don't know if I'd want to do that forever though. Of course, it doesn't have to be that. I could do whatever I wanted. But would I go back to Canada? Or stay in New York? I have family and friends and memories in both and I'd hate to leave any of it behind either way. I haven't given much more thought to getting married or kids or anything like that. That's not true. I have a little. But I feel like that's a million years away. Maybe part of me believes that if I don't think about any of it it'll never have to come into reality. Honestly the more I think about it, the more I wish I could just stay 15 forever.
